Pkmastachaos Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 40 here. Also, way to go getting an 8 on your test - even though you made it impossible to score anything less unless you skipped some questions. Hell, why do people think it's 'cool' to be pessimistic anyway? Realistically thinking you should NOT get such a low score. Unless your pretty much brain dead, and unaware of medical advances, or any of that. Seriously people, come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebdragon Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'm a realistically pessimistic {as everyone from the SODB knows}. This quiz is crap. People sometimes have characteristics that they do not know they have, or understand. Knowing whether one is a pessimist or optimist is not one of them. This quiz is crap. Oh, and congratulations on scoring an 8 on your own quiz when you set the minimum score to be 10.

Abelmisi Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'm not going to take this test, it'll just be a huge waste of time. [/sarcasm] Btw I think the quiz would be better off with "Optimist or realist". Realizing how important it is to stop things like Global Warming doesn't really seem pessimistic to me. But that's just prolly me picking on crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megakiller32 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 31-40. Im occasionally optimistic, when i was expecting to be usually pessimistic because everyone says i am :P That wasn't to me a really optimistic or pessimistic test, more a "How realistic in the real world are you?" For instance Question 9. Yes, 100%, there already is- solar, wind, hydro electrics....

Rebdragon Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Oh man, I didn't really look at the quiz, but I just did a quick run through: 5. Do you think global warming will be stopped in your lifetime? Apparently one gets 5 optimist points for believing that global warming will stop within our life time. Optimist. Seriously, no one else catch that?

GordanFreeman Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 The questions shouldn't even be taken as evidence when you're deciding whether you're optimistic or pessimistic. Seriously man, that isn't the way to go about it. Why even take the test, it won't give you a true answer. "El que no arriesga no gana" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGoddessI Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Your questions don't really measure a great deal of optimist nor pessimist potential :? Common sense and logical thinking maybe but yeah... get better questions to put it bluntly. 1. Do you think that people all over the world will be living in peace in 20 years? I'm an optimist but seriously with logical thinking here and common sense there will never be peace on this planet all together (save it preachers) yet alone in 20 years. 2. Do you think that people will be living longer, healthier lives in 50 years? Common sense tells you age is increasing and so is the medical side. 3. Do you think that hunger in the world will be eliminated in your lifetime? Common sense says no. 5. Do you think global warming will be stopped in your lifetime? This question isn't serious is it? lol........... 6. Do you think the world will be a better place for everyone by the next century? You would be delusional if you thought it was and once again I'm an optimist saying this. 7. Do you think you will live your entire life more comfortably than your parents or grandparents? This measures optimism and pessimism a little... Yes I nearly already have. 8. Do you think the "information age" will result in higher education for everyone? Once again you're kidding right? This is a question? 9. Do you think that a new source of energy will be available when fossil fuels run out? Hemp - read about it. 10. Do you think human rights around the world will improve significantly in the next 20 years? They're improving slightly but it will never improve significantly. There will always be people who abuse power it is psychological and here to stay so get used to it. The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

Oh, and congratulations on scoring an 8 on your own quiz when you set the minimum score to be 10. Yea, this is probably one of the worst quizzes I've seen. Most of those have nothing to do with being optimistic or pessimistic. If you answer the questions realistically you're probably going to get the most pessimistic one because of the questions you asked. Not only will it not be accurate because of that, but a lot of people who think they are optimistic will easily pick out the answers that will allow them to have a higher score. EDIT: Goddess summed it up nicely =p. I was hoping she would use some of those psychology terms I learned in class that I couldn't remember.

warri0r45 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I'm a realist. This quiz is crap. I'm with you basically. I could be optimistic and avoid thinking about the reality of the situations or likewise be a pessemist and avoid thinking about the reality of the situations. For instance, going by how much we've advanced in medicine over the past 100 years and the increased rate by which we are advancing now due to better methods, I wouldn't be at all surprised if we will find a cure to diseases such as HIV and cancer in my lifetime.

highlanders Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Middle of the road. This is completely irrevelant though. Are you deluded or realist? should be the question here. It's very deluded to think that human problems that have been with us for centuries would just disappear into thin air "in my lifetime" or "in the next 20 years". More than anything else, everything points that we are going towards environment, moral and social chaos. Really, it's not about being pessimist of optimistic anymore, it's about are you oblivious or not to the reality of the situation we are in. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
