Yep, I think "pragmatist" is better than "realist." To me, "realist" implies that the individual's interpretation of reality is somehow accurate. Whereas "optimist", "pessimist", and "pragmatist" connote a degree of indifference about whether the individual's interpretation is actually accurate, and are more concerned with the manner of interpretation itself.
