This is a test to see if you're an optimist or a pessimist. What is your first inclination when reading OPPORTUNITYISNOWHERE?

Opportunity is now here = optimist
Opportunity is nowhere = pessimist

Be honest!

neither, i read "opportunity is nowhere", probably due to the letters being together and wanting to make as few words as possible out of it for maximum letter utilization.

That's pretty dumb. The word nowhere is much more common than the phrase "now here"

I read "nowhere" because that's how it's written. I split the thing up into as few words as possible.

If I read "Op port unity i snow here" what does that make me? Optimist?

Quiet down, that's just the pessimist way to think about it!

So, wait, me being optimistic about being an optimisit makes me a pessimist, but your attempt to cast people as pessimists makes you an optimist? :confused:

This sounds like a "test" they would use at a motivational seminar.
