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 following test consists of eight categories which 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. You will also have
the option of purchasing a full, detailed evaluation at your leisure.
Do your best to judge yourself honestly. The closer your answers are to your true skills, the more accurate your results will be.
