    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.

    • 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.
