Too many to count!
-
many times , which is how i truly learnt not to judge a book by its cover as they say
-
all the time.. i judge too quickly.. but once i get to know people my opinions usually change
-
Too many times. I'm terribly trusting, and I've had countless experiences of a**eholes taking advantage of that. Sure, he's a nice guy, until he doesn't get what he wants.
-
A couple of times, the end results were disastrous for me on many levels.
-
A few times.The older I get, the better I get at reading a person.
-
Never.
-
Not very often, but when I've been wrong it's usually been because I gave someone the benefit of the doubt who didn't deserve my generosity.
-
verry rarely. but that is because I make judgments in stages. it isn't a I like this person or I do not. I identify individual attributes. I had a supervisor who I hated... but when a passenger was a jerk I knew she was the one I wanted to call. accept people for what they have to offer and minimize what they cost.

Always. You can never know someone's true personality just by seeing them or talking to them for a minute. Some people are shy and avoidant on the outside, but lively and beautiful on the inside. People are kind of like Morning Glories- you can't see their true beauty bacause they can't open up until they feel the radiance of the sunlight.

Occasionally, both ways. A couple of times someone to whom I took an irrational dislike turned out to become a friend...more often, though, because I'm very open and accessible I've thought someone was really nice and found out later I was wrong. I prefer the former..that's like finding water when your parched..the latter hurts because ya feel kinda stupid! :)

Often. It's unfortunate. It has a lot to do with people putting up fronts but it also is due to seeing what I want to see.
-
not often, only a couple people I can think of that I've been wrong about (and it's usualy when someone else has told me things about the person before I meet them, that tends to taint your judgement)
-
Very few times. I've even changed my mind about someone for a time, but unfortunately my first instincts usually come back around.
-
Very rarely.
-
Not very often. I am a good judge of that.
-
almost always!
