Do you have a negative or positive perspective?
1. You wake up in the middle of the nigh with a stomachache. Your first thought is ...
1pt “I’m sure it’s nothing.”
2pts “I’ll take some medicine.”
3pts “I think I should go to the doctor.”
2. You apply for your “perfect” job, but you don’t get it. You think …1pt “Never mind. I’ll find something else.”
2pts “That’s really unfair.”
3pts “It figures. I never get the job I want.”
3. When you are introduced to someone new, you …
1pt make friends easily with that person.
2pts “warm up” to that person gradually.
3pts make that person prove to you that he or she is likable.
4. News about crime or disasters makes you …1pt want to do something to help.
2pts realize that sometimes bad things happen.
3pts feel unsafe and depressed.
5. When a friend feels down, you …
1pt understand and try to offer support.
2pts tell him or her about your problems too.
3pts tell him or her how much worse it could be.
6. Your boss asks you out to lunch. You think …1pt “I must be getting a raise.”
2pts “That’s really nice.”
3pts “oh, no! I’m getting fired!”
7. If someone unexpectedly knocks on your door. You think …
1pt “I wonder which friend is dropping by.”
2pts “I wonder who it could be.”
3pts “I’m not answering. It must be a salesperson.”
Add up your points.

11-14 You’re a bit optimist. You’re very realistic.
15-21 You’re pessimist. You tend to see the glass half empty.
