I was reading an article about it and it was interesting.
I agree with it that they can work together, because both can bring out the best in each other in a unique ways sometimes optimists can be overly optimistic and maybe arent noticing the pitfalls of their plan, this is where a pessimist can bring them back down to reality a bit.
Here are some characteristics of them 2, starting with the optimist:
1 Growth mindset
2 Focus on opportunities
3 Positive reinforcement
4 Effective problem solving
5 Team player
Here are the pessimists traits:
1 Fixed mindset
2 Focus on obstacles
3 Negative reinforcement
4 Difficulty in problem solving
5 Isolation
What is your view about it and which one are you and what do you think of the points listed of them 2, are they correct?
I do believe that one can be both an optimist and a bit pessimistic and vise versa as it is on a spectrum. I would say that I am mostly an optimist  |

I disagree. I would say realist. I've worked with optimistic ""people and they are great but can fail to see the wider picture. I share both traits but wouldn't put myself as negative , more about being real regarding the situations and a helicopter view. |

"Of course then can but would be a constant battle of wish one was right.
For example.
Pessimist : that won’t fit.
Optimist : yes it will, watch.
One of them is going to be right.
The mr "
Yes, you are right there too and those are also good examples of it |
