\r\n\t\tChoose Your Lift Level\r\n\t<\/h2>\r\n\t

What do you have capacity for today? Whether it’s a light lift, or something a little heavier, taking a step is what counts.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5 minutes\r\n\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t15 minutes\r\n\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t20 minutes\r\n\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t5 minutes\r\n

Is IQ Fixed or Fluid?<\/h3>

Take this brief learning orientation quiz and note your fixed or fluid mindset score.<\/p>\r\n

Take this short assessment (and watch the videos if you have time) and explore how your assumptions about intelligence affect how you approach the more difficult challenges in your life. What might this mean for changing course today regarding your own political polarization?<\/p>\r\n

Take The Quiz<\/a>

The Science Behind It<\/h4>How we think about<\/em> IQ and how we go about solving problems have been found to be directly related. When we see IQ as something we are born with (a fixed trait), we approach new problems like a performer who wants to show how smart they are. When we view IQ as something that can be grown and developed over time, we will take a learning approach to new problems – perhaps failing at first, but eventually mastering the problem.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t15 minutes\r\n

Read “A Life in the Lab of Dietrich D\u00f6rner”<\/h3>

Read the summary of D\u00f6rner’s decision-making experiments in ridiculous, non-linear environments (from The Way Out<\/a>).<\/p>\r\n

Read The Summary<\/a>

The Science Behind It<\/h4>Life in complex systems often makes no sense. We work tirelessly to fix what seems like a simple problem, only to see our efforts backfire and make things worse. Or nothing happens at all. It is so frustrating! However, we can understand cause and effect and learn how to work with them effectively. Read this brief<\/a> on D\u00f6rner’s research, then reflect on what this means for your learning trip this month.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t20 minutes\r\n

Our World Today Is Messy. You Okay With That?<\/h3>

Take the Tolerance for Ambiguity Assessment and reflect on the results.<\/p>\r\n

Take The Assessment<\/a>

The Science Behind It<\/h4>One key to being able to adapt to setbacks is the ability to tolerate when things don’t work out like we expect. If setbacks make you crazy anxious, it is hard to learn from them and pivot. Research has shown that higher degrees of tolerance for ambiguity – or being comfortable with uncertainty or unpredictability – help us allow events to unfold in their own time. So, how comfortable are you with this kind of fuzziness?<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\"icon-reflection\"\r\n

\r\n\t\tDaily Reflection\r\n\t<\/h2>\r\n\t

End the week by connecting the dots. How have your five experiences this week affected your perspective on this journey?<\/p>\r\n
