Judgment Biography
Judgement (or judgment) is the evaluation of given circumstances to make a decision. Judgement is also the ability to make considered decisions. The term has at least five distinct uses. In an informal context, a judgement is opinion expressed as fact. Formally, a judgement is the act of evaluating the validity or correctness of a statement. In the context of a legal trial, a judgement is a final finding, statement or ruling, based on evidence, rules and precedents, called adjudication (see judgement (law)). In the context of psychology, judgment informally references the quality of a person's cognitive faculties and adjudicational capabilities, typically called wisdom. In formal psychology, judgement and decision making (JDM) is a cognitive process by which individuals reason, make decisions, and form opinions and beliefs. Additionally, judgement can mean personality judgment; a psychological phenomenon in which a person forms specific opinions of other people.
