The Mischel Test

The Mischel Test, also known as the "marshmallow test," is a psychological experiment that studies self-control and delayed gratification. Participants, often children, are given a treat (like a marshmallow) and told they can enjoy it immediately or wait a set period to receive a larger reward. The test observes how well individuals resist temptation and hold out for something better later. Results have been linked to future success, highlighting the importance of self-control in personal development and decision-making.
