Dr. Mahzarin Banaji, a Harvard social psychologist who is an expert in stereotyping, told me, "Carol Dweck is a flat-out genius. I hope the work is taken seriously. It scares people when they see these results."

Ironic that a so-called "expert in stereotyping" attributes successful research to "genius". Doubly so considering the content of the rest of the article.
