Grit is Not Intelligence

Catherine Cox's study on “eminent” geniuses. The two biggest differences between the most and least eminent was the tendency to not abandon tasks for mere changeability and working toward a definite goal

Why is Grit Important?

“High but not the highest intelligence, combined with the greatest degree of persistence, will achieve greater eminence than the highest level of intelligence with somewhat less persistence.” Stanford psychologist Catherine Cox

"my lab has found that this measure beats the pants off I.Q., SAT scores, physical fitness and a bazillion other measures to help us know in advance which individuals will be successful in some situations." (of the grit scale)

“Grit is about sticking with your future day in, day out, not just for the week, but for years, and working hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it’s a marathon not a sprint.”

-Angela Duckworth
