Take the Martin Seligman Optimism Test Online
Martin Seligman is a psychologist who was the first to define the concept of learned optimism. According to him, optimists are high achievers who believe that bad events are temporary. Optimism helps people cope with challenging situations and move forward even after a failure. More importantly, optimistic people allow good events to brighten up every area of their lives. At the same time, pessimists are likely to give up when they face difficulties. Take this quiz and find out whether your glass is half empty or half full!

You're a pessimist

Unfortunately, your glass is half empty. After each failure, you're convinced that nothing will be good again. You're one of those people who tend to exaggerate their problems. For example, if you missed a bus in the morning, it may ruin your entire day. As you probably understand, this is not a healthy approach to life and you should work hard to change your attitude. The good thing is that you're not blaming your problems on circumstances or other people but trying to find out what you've done wrong.  Share this quiz on social media and see if your friends are optimists or pessimists.
