“How to Judge a Person’s Character”
As a tell my readers all the time, the biggest mistake a person can make is to get into a relationship (be it business, personal, or romantic) with the wrong person. You can literally ruin your own life.
So how can you tell if a person is trouble or not? Here are some tips on how to judge a person’s character before getting involved with them.
1) Look at who their friends are
The first thing you should do is to look at who their friends are. As I have mentioned in the past, you can judge a person’s character by looking at their choice of friends. Don’t believe me? Do the “Rule of 5” test and you’ll see how true this is!
2) Look at their past actions Call me cynical, but I find that 90% of the time,
you can judge a person by looking at their past history. As I always say, “once a liar, always a liar.” A person who has gone through 17 ex-girlfriends or boyfriends is NOT going to think that YOU are “the one” for long.
3) Look at their actions, not their words
While you are judging their actions, make sure you don’t fall prey to the victim stories that people with character problems always invent for themselves. Guys,
don’t just believe ALL three of her ex-husband were abusive jerks. Ladies, don’t believe he’s “trying” to stop his bad habits.
As I always say, actions don’t lie, words do!
4) Look at how they treat other people
People with bad character tend to be self-centered. They may put you at first (more like pretend to put you at first) when they see a benefit, but as soon as they benefit is gone, they will start treating you like dirt. So rather than judging a person based on how they treat you while they still have something they want from you, judge them based on how they treat people that are not so useful to
them.
5) Look for lies or exaggerations
Look for lies or exaggerations. See if their stories
match up. Use your head and turn that B.S. detector on!
6) Look for addictions
Look for addictions to alcohol, drugs, gambling,
and prostitution. Many people with character problems have
one kind of dependency or another.
7) Look at their attitude towards life
Look at how the person looks at the world. See if
they like blaming the world instead of taking responsibility
for their own actions. See if they are so negative that they
resent everything and everyone around them. (Stay AWAY if
that’s the case!)

Look at their beliefs and whether their actions are congruent
with their beliefs.
Finally, look at a person’s beliefs and see if they belong to a train wreck. But don’t just look at their beliefs. Follow the “actions, not words” rule and see if their actions are CONGRUENT with their beliefs. That’s where a lot of people fail!
