Judgement

Judgment is the crucial ability to draw meaningful conclusions from experience, to weigh up statements about the world, and to make connections that deliver real insight. Good judgment also involves a degree of prediction: of the reactions of individuals or groups, and of the impact of a decision on likely outcomes.

But whilst good judgment can be learned, for many people it is an innate quality, allowing the individual to screen out the superfluous and create a clear mental state from which the right outcome can be attained. Naturally, feelings and intuition play an important part in good judgment, since applying cold logic alone does not provide a solid base for sound decision-making.
