Are You An Optimist, Pessimist Or Realist? Quiz - Quiz

The line that separates Pessimism, Realism, and Optimism is quite thin, and it's often quite necessary to have a good knowledge of the attributes of these personalities. While a great optimist sees the yin (good) triumphing over the yang (evil), a pessimist anticipates the worst of the situation. A realist would look at it as it is and accept whatever comes forth. This quiz is quite interesting as it finds a fascinating way to balance the knowledge of the trio, with the fun of learning. Just sit back and enjoy.
