Are You A Cynic, A Realist, Or An Idealist?

You're a cynic! You believe that most (or all) of human behavior is motivated by self-interest, and you have trouble seeing the world any other way. While you're likely correct in many situations, your cynicism can also lead to closed-mindedness and even isolation.

You're a realist! You're more concerned with the hard facts of any situation than the motivations of those who might be involved. Your realistic point of view often allows you to see all sides of a story and form fully educated opinions.

You're an idealist! You tend to put morals and ideals before practicalities and even facts. Your idealism can cause you to see the world in black-and-white terms and make it difficult to see why things can't always benefit all parties involved.
