Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An optimist tends to have a positive outlook on things and sees the positive side of a situation, hence they would say "that glass is half full". A pessimist, on the other hand, tends to have a negative outlook on things and sees the negative side of a situation, hence they would say "no, that glass is half empty". A realist, as an option in the other choices, would likely say something like "that glass is halfway filled" or "it's neither half full nor half empty, it's just halfway".
