Are You Surrounded by Fixed-Mindset People? Try the 5-Minute Growth Mindset Test

Why Your Circle Shapes Your Mindset?

There’s an old saying: you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.

Research in psychology backs this up — our social circles influence how we see challenges, failures, and possibilities.

• If your circle leans growth-minded, you’re more likely to take risks, learn faster, and adapt.

• If your circle leans fixed-minded, you might unconsciously limit yourself, avoid opportunities, or get stuck in repeating patterns.

The question is: who’s in your circle?

The 5-Minute Growth Mindset Test

The main idea behind this test is that I initially had a mediocre mindset. I made mistakes, but at the right time, I corrected them and shifted my mindset to one of growth. This is why I have a special column of articles on this topic titled "Personal Growth." I studied experts and read many resources, and I realised that people often overlook the importance of understanding the thought processes of their inner circle, which can hinder their growth. This led me to consider leveraging AI to solve this problem.

That's why, to help people discover this, I created the "5-Minute Growth Mindset Test" using a custom GPT.

It’s a short, interactive tool that asks reflection-based questions and shows whether you — and your circle — lean fixed, mixed, or growth mindset.

👉 Try it yourself. Then share it with your closest 5 people. Compare results. You might be surprised by the insights.

Why This Matters (Fixed vs. Growth in Daily Life)

• Fixed mindset circles: conversations often revolve around problems, excuses, or “that’s just the way it is.”

• Growth mindset circles: discussions shift toward possibilities, learning, and “what can we try next?”

  
  

Your environment doesn’t just influence your thoughts — it shapes your actions, your energy, and ultimately, your outcomes.

Final Thought

I kept this article short and crisp because my main objective is simple:I want you to take the 5-Minute Growth Mindset Test and then share it with your circle.

The test will take only a few minutes, but the insights you uncover could reshape the way you see yourself — and the people closest to you.
