We look at the grammar of this popular, philosophical question. Grammar shows us that it CAN'T be half full or empty. These are "absolute" words.

It’s decided: decisive people no more accurate than self-doubters。

Research finds only difference between so-called action-oriented and state-oriented people is confidence

By Nicola Davis

It’s a trait best seen in the eager pub quizzer – a tendency to leap to an answer without a shadow of a doubt.

Now researchers have suggested that while people who have little difficulty making decisions are more confident in their choices, they are no more accurate than those who feel more torn.

Writing in the journal Plos One, researchers revealed how they conducted experiments to explore potential differences between people who tend to be decisive, known as action-oriented people, and those who struggle to commit to a choice, known as state-oriented people.

“What we found is that confidence was the only thing that was different,” said Dr Wojciech Zajkowski, the first author of the research, who is now based at the Riken social decision science laboratory in Japan.

English's Fake Present Tense

قَدِيْمًا، اِشْتَرَى مَلِكٌ عَادِلٌ نَاقُوسًا كَبِيْرًا. عَلَّقَ المَلِكُ فِي النَّاقُوسِ حَبْلًا طَوِيلًا، وَضَعَهُ فِي سُوقِ المَدِيْنَةِ. سَمَّى المَلِكُ النَّاقُوسَ: «نَاقُوسُ العَدَالَةِ»
دَعَا المَلِكُ النَّاسَ، وَقَالَ: «لَا يَدُقُّ هَذَا النَّاقُوسَ إَلَّا الَّذِي يَتَعَرَّضُ لِلظُّلْمِ. بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، يَجْتَمِعُ القُضَاةُ وَيَبْحَثُونَ فِي مُشْكِلَتِهِ وَيُعْطُونَهُ حَقَّهُ.» لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ، اِنْتَشَرَ العَدْلُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ.
وَفِي قَرْيَةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، عَاشَ شَيْخٌ بَخِيلٌ. عِنْدَمَا كَانَ الشَّيْخُ شَابًّا، كَانَ كَرِيمًا وَفَارِسًا مِغْوَارًا. كَانَ عِنْدَ الشَّيْخِ حِصَانٌ يُحِبُّهُ كَثِيرًا. مَعَ مُرُورِ الوَقْتِ، أَهْمَلَ الشَّيْخُ الحِصَانَ وَتَرَكَهُ بِدُونِ رِعَايَةٍ.
قَرَّرَ الشَّيْخُ البَخِيلُ طَرْدَ الحِصَانِ العَجُوزِ. بَحَثَ الحِصَانُ عَنْ طَعَامٍ فِي الطُّرُقَاتِ لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئًا. وَبِيْنَمَا كَانَ الحِصَانُ يَسِيرُ، كَانَ الأَطْفَالُ يَرْمُونَهُ بِالحِجَارَةِ وَتُلَاحِقُهُ الكِلَابُ.
لَمْ يَرْحَمْ أَحَدٌ الحِصَانَ. وَجَدَ الحِصَانُ أَعْشَابًا فَوْقَ نَاقُوسٍ فِي سُوقِ المَدِينَةِ. تَنَاوَلَ الحِصَانُ الأَعْشَابَ فَاهْتَزَّ النَّاقُوسُ وَارْتَفَعَ صَوْتُهُ. بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، اِجْتَمَعَ القُضَاةُ فَرَأَوا حِصَانًا عَجُوزًا، فَقَالُوا: “هَذَا حِصَانُ البَخِيلِ، جَاءَ يَطْلُبُ العَدَالَةَ، فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ البَخِيلُ هَذَا الحِصَانُ.»
أَحْضَرَتِ الشُّرْطَةُ البَخِيلَ. وَقَفَ البَخِيلُ أَمَامَ القُضَاةِ. قَالَ القَاضِي الأَكْبَرُ: «كَانَ هَذَا الحِصَانُ صَدِيقَكَ. أَنْتَ خُنْتَهُ عِنْدَمَا طَرَدْتَهُ مِنْ مَنْزِلِكَ!»
عَيَّنَ القُضَاةُ رَجُلاً لِكَي يَرْعَى الحِصَانَ، ثُمَّ حَكَمُوا بِنِصْفِ مَالِ البَخِيلِ لِيَشْتَرِي الرَّجُلُ بِهِ طَعَامًا وَشَرَابًا وَمَأوَى لِلْحِصَانِ العَجُوزِ.
