Design Thinking Assessment
Internal locus of control
The belief that we have the ability to influence our outcomes, rather than let our circumstances determine the course of our lives.
I believe I am the primary cause of my successes and failures
Good things happen because I put effort into making them happen
No matter how much I try to do well, things don’t go my way
A lot of life is basically about luck
My happiness seems caused more by factors outside my control
I envy people who can achieve their goals and dreams
Growth mindset
The belief that we can grow and develop through action and effort by focusing on learning rather than performance goals.
I can learn anything I put time into learning
When I run into obstacles and problems, I believe I can learn my way to progress
I try to learn new things every day
When I fail at something, I can usually learn from it
I tend to avoid people who expect or want me to be different
I think I can change my mind when needed
Self-efficacy
The belief that we can achieve our goals
I think I have a lot of things that get in the way of being as successful as I think I should be
Friends and family think I’m talented
It’s more likely I will achieve what I want than not
I have had many moments of personal achievement in my life
I like new challenges
People who know me often have more faith in me than I have in myself
Intrinsic motivation
The belief we can take pleasure in the task itself, rather than any extrinsic rewards received from performing the task
There are a lot of things I do because I should or have to
If something loses its promise of a future reward, I tend to lose interest in it
I often question why I stick to the things I stick to
When I lose momentum in an effort, it’s hard to get it back
I can lose track of time doing something I enjoy
Sometimes I'll commit to something just because I like doing it
Resilience
The belief in the optimistic explanatory style, seeing challenges as temporary and fixable,
Even when life feels out of control, things usually work out for me
It takes me a while to bounce back from personal setbacks
I will avoid trying something if I think failing is a possibility
I think if something can go wrong, it will
It's easy for me to ask for help when I feel stuck
Being in a space of uncertainty is more motivating than frustrating
