Growth Mindset: OH NO NOT THE BLOCK !!

Oh god it only a few seconds into the video and I'm getting flashback to my dyslexia test with those stupid lovely blocks. I remember you would be given a card and you had to make the pattern on the card with the block, oh god I hated it, biggest pain in the arse going. I could never figure out how to make the blocks match the stupid pattern and you had to 25 of them, 25 PATTERN ?! I'M GETTING BLEEDED VIETNAM FLASHBACK TO THIS.

Oh god I've just realized that I'm just at of spending a minute ranting about those stupid blocks and I haven't even introduced the video and surprise, I'm not drunk.  So this video is called "Carol Dweck: The Effect of Praise on Mindsets", one the aspects I find interesting about the video is that the kids get praise ! When did this, I was so bad they had to label me to let people know I was a stupid dopey child, DYSLEXIA and yes I didn't google how to spell it  HA !

Is it bad that when I did it and got to the hard one I ask could I go home ? Actually if I remember correctly, I push the blocks away and went to bed at one point, younger me was a brave little twat, wasn't she ?

When I was asked if I wanted to go do the easier one or the harder one, I said I want to do neither and play my DS. 

Also I just realized that those block test were created by this Carol Dweck, Now I know whose face I'm putting on the dartboard tonight. Hang on, is that I why I kept getting asked what does the teacher and my parents say about my work ? Is that why I got asked does the voice in my head say when I'm working on something hard ? To figure out if I have a fixed or growth mindset ?

To bad I answered: "Can I go to the bathroom ? I gonna wet myself.", although I think 8 year old me got Growth mindset at the time, then again I never did listen to my teachers back then.
