A note from Daniel

people can hold two different views of their own intelligence. Those who have an "entity theory" believe that intelligence is just that--an entity. It exists within us, in a finite supply that we cannot increase. Those who subscribe to an "incremental theory" take a different view. They believe that while intelligence may vary slightly from person to person, it is ultimately something that, with effort, we can increase.
