ITIS

The Implicit Theories of Intelligence Scale (ITIS) is a validated psychological instrument developed by Carol Dweck to measure an individual's fundamental beliefs regarding the nature of intellectual ability. It assesses whether a person views intelligence as a fixed, innate trait that cannot be changed or as a malleable quality that can be developed through effort, strategy, and persistence.
