"Grit" as a predictor of success

I attended a PD workshop yesterday, presented by Jim Grant on "The Teacher/Parent Partnership: Meeting the Challenge of Raising Healthy, Happy and "Gritty" Children. I left wondering how "gritty" I am and how one can measure their gritty-ness.  So, I went to find an online tool to see just how "gritty" I am. 

I found an online tool here at: The Duckworth Lab at the University of Pennsylvania.
 How much GRIT do you have? Take this survey to find out!

During Jim's presentation he shared traits of the 21st Century Mindset and Grit.  I want to learn more about this topic and what I can do to make a difference.  I am going to start by watching this TED video by Angela Lee Duckworth.
