Cheatsheet to ways we frame these beliefs (which correlate & form a coherent network of how we think about 'ability'):

- Growth/fixed mindset: is intellectual ability malleable?

- Universal/nonuniversal metatheory: does everyone have the potential for high aptitude?

- Brilliance: are high levels [of ability] necessary for success in a given field?

- Essentialism: is intellectual ability innately determined?

- Stable/Responsive : Is ability responsive to intervention?
