First I would like to address that Grit doesn't paint the complete picture and I have some issues with the over-justification of it. However this term Grit, as Angela Duckworth adresses, grants us another tool to anaylze success. A person with true grit has passion and perseverance that will help them achieve goals are set and followed through. "Intelligence" (and I use the term loosely) and "talent" are not always the advantage. A person who works really hard to follow through on commitments has true grit.
Here is Dr. Duckworth's TED talk.
Here is an excerpt from her website "... grit—a combination of passion and perseverance for a singularly important goal—is the hallmark of high achievers in every domain. She’s also found scientific evidence that grit can grow."
Now that you have watched her talk take the Grit test and see where you rank. Keep track as you will discuss in the discord forum with your colleagues this week.
How did you score? Was it accurate? Did you see any surprises? Make sure to jot down some notes about this.
