Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flexibility is not considered a positive illusion. Positive illusions typically include an exaggerated sense of personal control, self-enhancement, and unrealistic optimism, which are mild and beneficial distortions of reality. Flexibility, however, refers to the ability to adapt thoughts and behaviors to changing conditions and is not a distortion of reality.
