          By knowing your how you are intelligent, you can know how to use your strengths to help you in areas that are a struggle with. Just because you may struggle in an area doesn't mean that you cannot learn in that area, it just means you have to approach it differently, using your strengths.

          There are two mindsets: a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. People with a fixed mindset believe that they cannot learn more than their natural "smartness".

          People with a growth mindset believe that  if they work at it, they can learn anything. Scientific research has proven that what ever you believe is true. So, if you have a fixed mindset, trade it in for a growth mindset.
