- The single-issue optimist/pessimist views everyone's future as being hopeless because of a handful of things that stand in the way.
- Next to the half-optimist are people who are pessimistic with their words but optimistic with their actions.
- In the middle, we have the reasonable optimist who acknowledges that life is full of setbacks but who remain confident because they know setbacks are a small part of the bigger picture.
- The possibilist knows progress is likely but sees it as playing the odds.
