Positivist - Someone who emphasizes observable facts and excludes metaphysical speculation about origins or ultimate causes. Eg. Auguste Comte, Durkheim, etc...
Realist - A person who accepts the world as it literally is and deals with it accordingly.
Phenomenologist - A person who studies of human experience in which considerations of objective reality are not taken into account.
I think I am more of a positivist.

A realist only believes in their own reality - I use to believe I was a realist until I realized that.
