I've always tried to see things on a possitive, so I'd say half full....

Though there had been times in my life where my glass was broken, or bone dry.

If it's being filled it's half full.
If it's being drank it's half empty.

half-full and half-empty is the same thing, just the words are different.

this question is only used to test the attitude of the person. as debbiejo said she is a positive person so she has a optimistic look on life so it will always be half full. where as a pessimistic person will say that the glass is half empty.

i to think i am an optimistic person so the answer for me is always half full. it doesn't really matter about the glass of liquid really because the persons subconscious will answer with optimism or pessimism.

So, what does it mean if I expect a refill when the glass gets to that point?

If I'm happy..it's half-full.
