The Optimism Test

Half-Full or Half-Empty?

Do you view things negatively or positively? Are you an optimist or a pessimist? This test will help you discover which way, and to what extent, you are either a pessimist or optimist.

Each individual possesses an "explanatory style," which is the way you habitually explain to yourself the reason events happen. While an optimistic explanatory style will stop helplessness, a pessimistic explanatory style consistently promotes it. Your explanatory style reflects what you carry in your "heart" and this test will show you if it is positive or negative.

The test consists of eight categories that examine important aspects of your life and determine your approach to each area of your life. The categories are as follows:

  1. Career
  2. Home
  3. Friends
  4. Peers
  5. Lifestyle
  6. Family
  7. Colleagues
  8. Education

At the end of this test, you will receive your overall optimism percentage along with a full, detailed evaluation.

Do your best to judge yourself honestly. The closer your answers are to your true skills, the more accurate your results will be.
