Prompt #3: Habits of Mind (Mendez)


Review the research of Mendez on Habits of Mind. 

Of the 16 Habits of Mind he references, list the five you consider personal strengths and the five that you would consider as areas most in need of improvement (personally).

  1. I think my five strengths of those listed are finding humor, remaining open to continuous learning, listening with understanding and empathy, thinking about thinking (hello, I'm a woman), and striving for accuracy.

    I could stand to improve managing impulsivity (emphasis on remaining calm when stressed or challenged. Hello, I'm a woman.), creating, imagining and innovating, taking responsible risks (I only enjoy spontaneity when it's carefully planned), gathering data through all senses (I run around most days feeling like my hair is on fire), and suppose the corollary association to that would be responding with wonderment and awe.
