Judgement

Judgement (or US spelling judgment)[1] is also known as adjudication which means the evaluation of evidence to make a decision.[2][3][4] Judgement is also the ability to make considered decisions.

The term has four distinct uses:

• Informal – opinions expressed as facts.
• Informal and psychological – used in reference to the quality of cognitive faculties and adjudicational capabilities of particular individuals, typically called wisdom or discernment.
• Legal – used in the context of legal trial, to refer to a final finding, statement, or ruling, based on a considered weighing of evidence, called, "adjudication". See spelling note for further explanation.
• Religious – used in the concept of salvation to refer to the adjudication of God in determining Heaven or Hell for each and all human beings. God's assessment of a person's worth: a determination of "good" conveys great value while "evil" conveys worthless.

Additionally, judgement can mean:

• Personality judgment, a psychological phenomenon of a person forming opinions of other people.
