I do not think 'growth mindset' is necessary for growth if one understands what 'talent' really means. I define 'talent' in a task as competence at learning new things in that particular task. I think people generally see their current learning speed as limited by their 'talent', but it is actually limited by concentration/effort/dedication.
After certain stage, the later matter a lot more than what many think. We also see that people with growth mindset do not improve their talent, but the other things. It would be good if people with fixed mindset realize that talent is not everything. This is not a question of 'mindset', but unbiased review of competence function.
An excellent reply to Ms. McGonall. Just what I would expect of Harry potter with a brain. I have to reaffirm, this is the best Harry Potter fan fiction out there!
