The Idealist believes… Two Personality Types The Idealist believes… The Realist accepts that… …things will always work out. …people will always do their best. …I will always get what I want even without effort. …life is a happy fairy tale. …problems come in almost every situation. …people can let you down. …sometimes even hard work doesn’t pay off. …not all dreams come true.

The Idealist Positive Negative Usually happy-go-lucky. Have a positive outlook on life. Fun to be around. You can’t rely on them to do things. (since things always work out) They have a hard time dealing with problems. They tend to be focused on their own needs.

Realist Positive Negative. Hard working, responsible people. Handles difficult situations well. Not overly emotional or dramatic. Can be a bit of a ‘downer.’ Less excitement in their lives. They tend to settle for things instead of aiming big.
