today i want to talk about judgement calls. Thinking about my previous blog about modern day morality it concerns what we commonly¿know as¿the judgement call. Difficult thing to assess and measure that isnt it. Every day we are called apon in one way and another to issue judgements on situations and people. Situations I feel being the easiest to call but people are a different story. Think about the blogs. We are all talking together sharing ideas and opinions each making an assesment about one another, in effect judging . I consider myself to be pretty street wise and savvy, in business i make judgements about people all the time and I have to say im not often wrong, but boy when I am Im SPECTACULARLY wrong. What is it do you think that betrays our instincts and intellect.? Why is it that with some we cant [as we say it over here] cant see the wood from the trees. Is it because sometimes we take an instant liking to someone and subsequently sweep all those nagging little doubts and signs under the carpet, hoping it will be allright, or am I¿being naieve? My lapses are not easily explained ...... are yours? what do you think? are judgement calls easy for you? and if they are , what percentage are spot on the money? ¿

With me I go by my gut feelings. They've not let me down yet. I generally ask a couple questions and the answers they give sums up, at least to me, what is important to them, and what direction they may have in other areas in their life. I've made lots of mistakes and hopefully have learned from them. And when I'm wrong I am defintely one to admit it.

yes Mold public judgements can be 100 times as visible and 1000 times as wrong sometimes..... just goes to show how careful we have to be to get it right Weve all had judgement calls on here havent we, and for the most part they have been spot on. The thing is that when you get it wrong.... as we all do from time to time,¿you have to be big enough to say so and apologise for it, and sincerely hope that no damage was done because of it

Hello, Tink, and everyone else on this quite interesting blog. Most of the time, my instincts serve me well when¿it comes to judgment calls on people.¿ Thinking about the wrong-headed judgment calls I've made on people, I have to say that with each one I definitely overlooked red flags that were there from the beginning.¿ However, in two instances that come to mind from across the decades,¿I think it was sheer naivete that blinded me to the red flags which, in hindsight,¿were so very obvious.¿ ¿ QUOTING TINK's LAST FEW WORDS:¿ My lapses are not easily explained ...... are yours? what do you think? are judgement calls easy for you? and if they are , what percentage are spot on the money?" ¿ Lapses in the last year or two:¿ One.¿ It's easily explained NOW, after I've had roughly 6 months to stew on it, swallow my pride, and be totally honest with myself about why it happened.¿¿So, are lapses easily explained?¿ Only if I'm willing to look closely at my own weaknesses.¿ Are judgment calls easy for me?¿ For the most part, yes.¿¿Too easy, sometimes, in that I tend to be too judgmental sometimes.¿ When I find myself falling into that mode, I keep it to myself until I have some objective/concrete proof that my "ugly hunch" was correct.¿ Or not correct, which happens when I was harboring, perhaps, a spot of jealousy I didn't want to admit to, even to myself.¿ Or, I was reacting negatively because of some piece of baggage" of my¿own. Usually, though, when that happens, a few minutes of "slapping myself upside the head emotionally,"¿ gives me my objectivity back, and I'm back on the reality track. ¿ What percentages of my judgment calls on people are correct?¿¿Crikey...that's a tough one.¿¿Being as objective as I can be, I'd have to say between 93 and 98 percent.¿ And I have to add that, like Tink, when my judgment call is wrong, it is SPECTACULARLY WRONG, as she well knows.... ¿ Pat¿¿ ¿ ¿¿ .¿ ¿ ¿¿¿¿¿

moldy baby we are not here to judge, but judge we do. For sure I make a judgement everytime i meet someone, and heres the thing most times i keep it to myself but on here and in some public forums people tend to publicly judge. Why do you think that is?

I can say for myself that being wrong is part of being a human being. The minute that I accept the fact that me and you are human and therefore subject to mistakes or errors it is then that I start feeling better about me and others. To the extent that I expect anyone to be "perfect" is to the extent that I start to become unhappy or troubled. I can also argue that there is no such thing as an accident or mistake because rather quickly I will realize that I am going in the wrong direction and correct my course. I am not implying that there will never be pain involved or difficulty just that when the intuitive intelligence fails me there is a sort of self righting mechanism built in. One way that frequently leads me astray is malthusian logic or flawed logic. That's a biggie for me for several reasons: ¿¿ ¿ 1. not everything is governed by logic and¿ ¿¿ ¿ 2. there are powers greater than me that tend to control the flow of events while not finding the need to consult with me.

Tink. I too have very seldom been wrong about people when it is business.¿I have hired some of the best during my time as a department manager at work. I have trusted my instincts completely and more often than not come up with a winner! Personally though I have made a few faux pas' that would curl your hair.¿Yes I believe it is because I ignored the red flags for one reason or another, and I also believe that this is emotional thinking, because in business our emotions are not usually involved. Fortuneately for me though I will also not make the same mistakes twice, so once I feel I have been there and done that, I will not repeat the error in judgement, at least.....not to the same extent! In retrospect, trusting your first instinct is seldom wrong....its like playing trivial pursuit....your first guess is usually the correct one....but how many of us second guess ourselves and get it wrong. I know I do, but I'm working on that too, and my trivial pursuit game is improving as well!....LOL

¿¿ In many ways we a subjects of our exposures to¿experiences and shall we say our "live's indoctrinations". We have all had experiences in which we have learned hard, and soft, lessons. The latter, our upbringings and educations, both¿positive and negative, can lead to judgements. These all are subject to interpretation, and unless proven true or false, we incorporate them into our instincts, ¿and herein is our duty to change or accept our new visions. ¿¿ I choose not to be too quick to judge. We do get feelings about another....the way they speak, words ¿they use, most importantly the attitude they present. But I realize I dont know all the facts from ¿where they come. It is only after they prove their ingenuousness¿do I give judgement any value¿¿ ¿¿
