Are You an Optimist, Pessimist, or Realist?

Nothing gets your down! The world could be ending and you'd still find a way to admire the glorious color of the sky as the world explodes. Your friendly, fun, can-do attitude is your greatest asset. To you, life is one big adventure, and when the going gets tough, you always seem to find a way through to the other side. You're hard-working and resourceful, and your perpetual positivity makes you a joy to be around.

Your friends and family love coming to you with their problems because you can always see the good in even the worst situations. Don't get me wrong, you see the clouds too you just find a way to play in the rain! You're very clever, especially when it comes to thinking your way through difficult problems. You're also unfailingly honest (with yourself and others), which makes you both a valuable employee and a good friend.

You've always been the smartest person in your group of friends. Nothing ever surprises you, mostly because you're three steps ahead of life, and that's where you intend to stay! No matter what happens, you've got a plan, and you've even got multiple contingency plans in case that first plan fails. You have reasonable expectations, you set achievable objectives, and your determination to see a thing through to its conclusion leads to great success. Your friends and family have all listed you as their emergency contact'there's no cooler head than yours, after all!

You don't believe in dreaming big, you'd rather live quietly, practically, and well rather than shoot for the stars. You live a balanced life, you work hard, but you know when it's time to step back and loosen up a bit. It's very difficult to disappoint you, as you generally take life as it comes. You're easy-going, level-headed, and a very pleasant person to be around. Your calm, content energy draws others to you like a magnet.

Generally speaking, you tend to see the challenges and difficulties of a situation before you see the bright side. Not that that's a bad thing, you're an expert at working through tricky situations (a skill your employers love), and your tendency to predict and immediately fix problems makes you a great significant other, too. Your friends and family rely heavily on you when they need advice, and even though you see the dark before the dawn, you can usually manage to find your way to the daylight eventually.

No one ever asks you, 'What's the worst that could happen?' because the chances are good that you've already thought your way entirely through the worst case scenario, and you know exactly what you will do and say when it all comes to pass. Some of your friends think you do a lot of unnecessary worrying, but the fact of the matter is that all of that worrying inspires great preparation and caution, so you're never caught unawares. Even with all the worst-case thinking that you do, your friends and family still love you dearly, there's no one better in an emergency than you, after all!
