How Accurate Are You at Judging Personality?
This post has been viewed 2,781 times.
To become a good judge of personality, the König and colleagues’ study suggests that you remove those biased blinders that make you “want” to like, or dislike, the person. Try to throw aside those potentially misleading external clues which have nothing to do with personality and instead drill down into qualities such as reliability, loyalty, and honesty. Think back on what the person’s actually done, and be as specific as possible.
In seeking fulfilling relationships with others, we look out for a variety of personal qualities, not just the types of traits evaluated in this study. Recognizing how easily you can be biased, no matter what it is you’re judging, can help ensure that you’ve identified the people most likely to provide you with that fulfillment.
