Beth Dichter's insight:
Angela Duckworth left the classroom to study grit..." the relentless work ethic of sustaining your commitments toward a long-term goal — impact success." This post not only provides some background to her work it has a short (under 4 minutes) video where she discusses why she chose to research self-control and grit.

Over time she and a colleague developed a Grit Test. Learn more about her work and find a link to the Grit Test by clicking through to the post (last paragraph).
