So it's the LOT-R, the LOT-Revised.
Is that what it stands for?
I kind of figured, but I didn't bother looking.
Sure.
Anytime you see the R with something like that, it almost certainly is revised.
Yeah, yeah.
It could also be revved up, I guess.
Yeah, or really the right test.
Right.
The other letters are just kind of implied.
The lot was conceived by two dudes named Michael Shire and Charles Carver.
And what they were trying to do and did a pretty good job of it, I think, was measure, you know, I talked about dispositional, which is how we predict future events.
They're trying to measure dispositional optimism and pessimism with this test.
Yeah.
So what they found is that, like I said, the test is actually really reliable.
That was the word I was looking for before.
Yeah.
Because if you take this test, you know, at 50, you take it again on a totally different day and a totally different state and a totally different state of mind.
At 55, you're probably going to get roughly the same score.
Right.
