I'm just curious, how optimistic are you?

The test takes a little bit of time though. (20 min)

Snapshot Report

Cynicism

21

According to your responses, you are generally the type of person who believes in the goodness of humankind. You give nearly everyone the benefit of the doubt (at least until proven wrong), and will often accept what people say and do at face value instead of making conjectures about their motives. You will at least try to find the good in even the most difficult of people, and are willing to place your faith in others. Unlike their more positive counterparts, pessimists have a lot of difficulty trusting others, believing that most, if not all people have hidden agendas. Tempered with that necessary dose of skepticism, your fairly trusting and accepting nature is refreshing, and likely provides you with a much more balanced and upbeat perspective overall.

I'm a pessimist and I think I won't get back these 20 minutes of my life.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

"According to your responses, your perspective of humankind is quite cynical. You tend to assume the worst of people, and will frequently distrust their motives. Instead of giving others the benefit of the doubt and accept what they say or do at face value, you take a much more self-protective stance. Unless proven otherwise, you refuse to believe in other people's good intentions and rarely, if ever, place your trust in them. Although this perspective may protect you from being taken advantage of, you could definitely benefit from being a little more trusting. Your belief that many people are fundamentally bad can lead to a rather pessimistic outlook, that is, if you don't already have one. Unlike their less positive counterparts, optimists will at least try to find the good in even the most difficult of people, and are much more willing to place their faith in others. Although this doesn't mean that you should trust the good intentions of everyone you meet, a leap of faith every once in a while couldn't hurt."

Meh, I don't trust this survey. Too many redundant questions that were too similar (and whose answers require more specific contexts). This, as well as the fact that questions had to be split into several separate pages clearly shows their intentions of maximizing ad-revenues.
