Ok, so this is kinda interesting, but we don’t need another pop-sci personality profile. Instead, people could read up on Albert Bandura’s theory of self-efficiacy, and how the belief in abilities being changable through our own actions—as also described by Carol Dweck’s growth mindset—is a characteristic of high self-efficiacy.
