Struggling to Determine Your Mindset?

Use the following tips to help you find your mindset:

The 25 Mindset s book provides more detailed examples for each mindset, making it easier for you to find and validate your mindset. Read the mindset chapter (or chapters) for those mindsets you relate to most.
Don’t rule out a mindset because it didn’t garner the highest score. For example, if you have one mindset totaling 10 and two mindsets totaling 9, read about all three mindsets to ensure you find the one that is spot on.
If you discover you have rated many mindsets high, you may need to retake the assessment. When retaking, be sure to differentiate your responses by using the full scale of answers, 1-5 (don’t rate all 5!). When completing the Principle and Trigger assessment, resist the urge to “judge” the triggers and instead FEEL them as if they are happening, then evaluate how strongly they provoke a response in you.
If unsure of your mindset AND you thrive under pressure (and loathe being micromanaged), check out the Integrator mindset. Life experiences greatly affect this mindset, thus the mindset Principle can vary somewhat from one person to the next (though is rooted in common human decency, fairness, and everyone doing their part).
As you read about different mindsets, know that it’s normal to see aspects of yourself in various mindsets. You will identify your mindset through a process of triangulation—finding the one mindset that accurately characterizes your principle, passion, and purpose. The answer is within you. FEEL into each of these: (1) How do you need people to behave (principle), (2) What are you most motivated to do (passion), (3) What do you want most for yourself, and for others (purpose)? The mindset that accurately captures all three is your extraordinary mindset.
If you are trying to determine someone else’s mindset, ask them to complete the assessment.
If you rated a specific mindset higher than others but find it doesn’t feel quite right after reading the mindset chapter, trust that feeling. It should not feel forced! Go back and review other mindsets you rated high. When you find your mindset, it should feel almost laughable and leave you thinking, Yep, that is me, all right!
Refer to the Mindset Wheel at the beginning of Part 3 (page 103 in the physical book) to see what mindset group you relate to most.
