Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers about the optimism test, payment process, and user access details.

Q: Do I need an OpenAI account to take the test?

A: No — both the short and the full 48-question test run directly on our website.
Only if you want AI-guided coaching and deeper explanation of your results, you will need a free OpenAI ChatGPT account to access the OptimEase chatbot.

Q: How It Works:

A: The test is based on psychologic research.
It measures how you explain good and bad events in your life (Permanence, Pervasiveness, Personalization) and calculates your Hope Index and overall optimism score. AI is used only after the test for interpretation and guidance.

Q: Is the test free?

A: Yes — the Mini Test is 100% free and gives a quick snapshot of your mindset.
To unlock your full psychological report, including all six diagnostic scores and deeper guidance, a one-time payment is required after the test.

Q: How long does the test take?

A: The mini test takes approximately 1minute. The full test takes 5-10 minutes. Once completed, you will receive your results instantly.

Q: How does the test work?

A: OptimEase uses a scientifically inspired optimism test based on positive psychology principles and studies. The test includes a series of questions, analyze your responses, and generate a personalized report on your level of optimism.

Q: Can I retake the test?

A: Yes! You can take the test as many times as you like. However, repeated attempts might yield slightly different results based on your responses at the time.

Q: How accurate are the results

A: The model is based on validated positive psychology research.
It provides insight, not a clinical diagnosis — but it can meaningfully help you improve your thinking style.
