What does prudence mean to you?
Also, curious to see how you could use judgment in a positive way, like sound judgment versus judging self or others. What do you think about what I’m sharing?
I did not know what prudence was until I took the survey. Now I know that it is making wise choices.
I think judgment can be used in a positive way even if we are judging people. I make judgments based on the facts and my feelings which are sometimes wrong, so I am always willing to change my judgments. If we do not judge a tiger as a threat then we may be eaten or hurt. I also think feedback is a form of judgment so when I give someone feedback, positive or negative, it is because I have judged them.
Thanks for sharing Kris!
Prudence didn’t mean much to me before. Seems to be about not taking undue risks, thinking before I speak or act, considering the consequences of my choices on myself and others, and generally being overly cautious…. explains a lot really. This “strength” also is what holds me back and keeps me wanting to play it small and safe. Judgment as a strength is a new one for me too. The test identifies that sound judgment is a strength of mine which makes sense. Totally different from self judgment or judgment of others though. Not sure how they relate.
What was so interesting is using these as strengths for yourself versus against yourself. It’s a matter of perspective and choice.
