Which are you?

Optimist is someone who always looks on the good side of things. Example: Just before an exam you believe you can pass.

Pessimist is someone who always looks on the bad side of things. Example: Just before you sit an exam you think you will fail.

I'm an optimist in life, but can be pessimistic at times as well.

I'm quite an optimist ... I usually try and think of the good side and how things CAN be DONE and not failed, I believe this is a good confidence boost too.

However if it's an unreal challenge I probably wont ... but I enjoy a bit of a challenge.

I'm a realist. Sometimes that comes across as pessimism, sometimes as optimisim. In the example in the OP I'd probably come across as an optimist.

That's the same as me, but theirs always that thought in the back of my mind telling me I will fail miserably :D
