I received this quote via email which got me thinking about the definition of attitudes or a list of attitudes. A search on the internet brought me to this link.

Question: List twenty different attitudes?

Answer by BJ:

Attitudes are typically related to liking/disliking or with a positive/negative valence. They are more than personality traits, but linguistically used interchangeably if the traits are substantially broad or temperament-like.

Here are some types of attitudes, for starters.

01 ~ confidence (can-do / can't-do)

02 ~ optimism (optimistic or hopeful / pessimistic)

03 ~ interest (apathetic or indifferent / interested)

04 ~ seriousness (playful or humorous / serious)

05 ~ cheerful (cheerful / un-cheerful or dour)

06 ~ grateful (entitled / grateful)

07 ~ superiority (superior, pompous, arrogant or lofty / humble or unpretentious)

08 ~ condescending (condescending / egalitarian)

09 ~ openness (open / closed)

10 ~ authority (authoritative / un-authoritative)

11 ~ sincerity (sincere / insincere)

12 ~ trusting (trusting / cynical)

13 ~ loving (loving / cold)

14 ~ satisfaction (satisfied / dissatisfied)

15 ~ hostility (hostile or vindictive / nurturing)

16 ~ considerate (considerate / inconsiderate)

17 ~ cautious (cautious / reckless)

18 ~ friendly (friendly / unfriendly)

19 ~ conscientiousness (conscientious / un-conscientious)

20 ~ insolent (insolent, impudent or sassy / agreeable)
