We all found out the brain test was misleading and a dud. So here's another.

Do you lean optimistic or pessimistic? Take this quiz and find out

I found some of the questions difficult to answer.

Is there an actual score? I did not see a score.

I got this:

YOUR RESULTS

You are naturally very optimistic.

You tend to see negative events as temporary and isolated and don’t take them as reflections of who you are as a person.

 

What more do you want. We are close, this was mine.



No surprise to me.

 

What is no surprise to you?

Your result or my result? Or, both of our results?

 

Waiting for the +1 to take it. If she doesn't score completely opposite of me, then this test will be a dud as well. TBD.

 

I already know the answer, I would be pessimistic for sure, but I think it is more like being skeptical , I just don't buy what most people are selling these days.

 


Historically things have a way of working out for me regardless of the situation.
My mother always said I could fall in the pig pen and come out elected president.
I think based on that I'm always pretty positive and optimistic.
Whenever I go into a situation with objectives, I always assess all of the things that will be likely to go wrong.
Sometimes folks misinterpret this as being negative. It is by no means being negative but me planning on success.
In order to achieve success, I must understand and avoid all of those obstacles to success.
It just makes me appear pessimistic.

 

So she took it and it said she was optimistic ... so the test is another dud. When I told her it said I was optimistic, she said I cheated! That's how you make it 50+ years. .... really knowing each other.

 

Too many questions...I did do a few and I think it was sometimes easy to figure out which answer would label me optimistic, when I know that is not always the case.

 

I got the same thing. A few questions were not answered the way I would have.
