As you answer the questions, keep track of your score:
5 points = Yes, definitely
4 points = Yes, probably
3 points = Maybe
2 points = No, I doubt it.
1 point = No, definitely not.
Now add up your points and find out if you are an optimist or pessimist:
0-8 = Pessimist; you're down in the dumps - cheer up!
9-18 = Sometimes optimistic
19-28 = Middle of the road
29-38 = Occassionally optimistic
39 - 40 = Optimist - you're on top of the world!
