Do you believe that intelligence is a fixed commodity, that you are born with a certain IQ (an entity view), or do you believe you can increase your intelligence through hard work (an incremental view)? Justify your position
What will be an ideal response?

The learning happens in getting to that place, in other words, students processing the idea that hard work isn't everything--and neither is genetics. It takes a little of both, perhaps, and there is likely a reciprocal relationship there. Hard work can increase one's IQ, and intelligent people may be more likely to work hard.
