Now, add the sum total of your points and check for results.
If your sum total is between 6 to 14
Then you have an inclination toward being pessimistic. You tend to think the other way round about things. You think differently and like what most people dislike. You like to think about the darker times and worry about the future. You like taking what life is giving you, silently. You do not over expect or overestimate things. You tend to prepare yourself for the worse.
If your sum total is between 14 to 20
Then you are neither a pessimist nor an optimist, you are rather a realist who likes thinking high, but keeping with the grounds. Yo believe in karma and nothing else. You tread a realistic path and believe that this realistic path will only lead you to your mystical and magical dreams.
If your sum total is above 20
Then your personality has an inclination towards being an optimistic. You tend to think positive, feel positive and be positive. You like enjoying life with less of worries and more joy. You depend on your own self and have lots of self confidence. You like being lenient with life.
Although, our thoughts decide what kind of a personality we hold, but more than that our personality is carved by our own efforts. The way we want to make ourselves think and act. It’s our own will power, on which everything depends. So, even if you are a pessimist, do not get disheartened, you rather try and carve yourself the way you feel you should be!
