Edited by: Epegi Givo on 21/09/2009 23:35:21 There is the simple test to tell if you are optimistic or not, if you view a glass as half full or half empty.
But what if you think half left? would that be conservative (Not government)?
The premise is that you already drank exactly half. __________________________

Meh, that premise is lacking anyways.
It depends on the state of the glass before the perception:
If you were filling the glass, it's half full. If you were emptying the glass, it's half empty. If you don't know the previous state, it's filled at half the maximum capacity.
The 'half left' description indicates that there had been more previously, so it is half empty. -------- Ideas for: Mining

If you've drunk half already, it is half empty. You are emptying it, not filling it.

The half left is a strong liquor is how you tell if they are conservative.

What is it when you empty it to half and then go to fill it up again?

Optimist : The glass is half-full. Pessimist : The glass is half-empty. Realist : Yep. That's a glass, alright. Idealist : One day, cold-fusion from a glass of water will provide unlimited energy and end war. Capitalist : If I bottled this and gave it a New Agey sounding name, I could make a fortune. Communist : This drink belongs to every single one of us in equal measure. Conspiracist : The government is fluoridating the water for mind-control purposes. Sexist : This glass isn't gonna refill itself, honeybun... Nihilist : The glass does not exist, and neither do I. Opportunist : There's a funny t-shirt in here somewhere. Engineer : This glass is overengineered.

Glass is still half full. Therefore, I have more to drink.

an optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds. the pessimist fears this is true.
As a pessimist I can always be pleasantly surprised.

I like the lyrics in the Van Halen song 5150. Shows what a carebear i am too
The love line is never straight and narrow Unless your love is tried and true We take a chance with new beginnings
Still we try (Oooh) Win or lose (Oooh) Take the highs (Oooh) With the blues (Oooh)
Always one more You're never satisfied Never one for all with you It's only one for me So, why draw the line? Meet you half the way And you don't know what that means Oh, yeah
I feel like a running politician Oh! Just tryin' to please you all the time I given you my self with no conditions
Goin' wide (Oooh) Runnin' long (Oooh) Feelin' lost (Oooh) But not for long (Oooh)
Always one more You're never satisfied Never one for all with you It's only one for me So, why draw the line? Meet you half the way When you don't know what that means Whoa, yeah
(Guitar Solo)
Always one more You're never satisfied Never for all with you It's only one for me So, why draw the line? Meet you half the way When you don't know what that means

A half empty of full glass can only mean one thing : time to order the next round.

You might think I'm joking but I actually got asked this as a question at a job interview a few years back. Instead of giving the usual half full/half empty, I said something along the lines of what's already been posted in this thread.
I'm an Engineer, the glass is twice the size it needs to be.
It raised a chuckle and wierdly enough I got the job. Probably not based on that answer but I like to think in my head it helped the process along a little
