I am mostly on the mark. I have been told I have a sixth sense than can read mind very quickly. If my opinion about a person is negative, I tend to hold it back, try to give the person a benefit of doubt.

I misjudge people as much as people misjudge me...it's a two-sided deal. While I hate to judge and be judged, we're all human. We all do it. Besides, how many times have we first met someone and thought one way about them, then found out they were completely different? And with me, people have told me when they first met me they thought I was a stuck-up B**** just because I didn't walk around with a smile on my face all the time. I mean, come on...who is going to smile ALL the time? :) haha

In person I have sometimes jumped to the wrong conclusion - for example when I see an exquisitely coifed and made-up woman with expensive clothes, I may conclude she is a very material person focused on her image. I always keep an open mind though, and am often gratified to discover I was wrong. Here on AB I've been pretty much on the mark, where I am focusing on a person's ideas, philosophy, knowledge and character. I guess the point is, based on all my past erroneous judgments, I just don't do any judging without facts.

In person, I am usually real close to my first impression if I get chances to continue to see them or talk with them. Online is alot more difficult. You cannot see facial expressions, hear tone of the voice, and see body language which is a great advantage in real life in person. I think that is one problem inherent with places like this. We can use smileys :) ;) and all to help, but even the most articulate person can be misunderstood or misjudged by some or many due to not being able to really see and hear them. The Internet is great, but will never take the place of an in person meeting or introduction, or chat.

I am usually correct because while I listen to what they say I pay close attention to what they do and what kind of people they associate with. If they tell you how much they care about you but you always seem to be down on the list of people they do things for then they really don’t care about you much. Also while it is difficult to objectively judge someone you care about it is easy to form an objective opinion about the people they associate with. If they are not now like the people they associate with they will become like them eventually.

I am generally a good judge of character, and can usually tell upon first meeting what that person is like, and if we're gonna get on.

I'm usually on the mark,but I have misjudged before.ie: I thought they were good people but I found out otherwise. :)

Usually on the mark, but as they say ". . . to err is human. . ." I am not always on the mark.
