Profiling the Toughest TV Judge Around:
ReflectiveFrank wrote suggesting we attempt to "ANSIR®" our favourite television judge. Of course, he declined to take a shot at it himself, offering only a few good observations: "Not sure what profile. What I notice is She has very strong opinions. Hears what she wants to hear. Thinks she sees patterns with previous court cases so may base judgements on that but doesn't allow for the individual. Probably good at picking up lies. Likes attention rather flamboyant. Likes control." That certainly does describe Judge Judy. Let's take a closer look.	Judge Judy
HIGHLY LIKELY ANSIR® Profile: Diligent/Sentinel/Idealist Diligent: Whenever possible, bases decisions solely on proof/evidence supplied. Sentinel: Is ultra-instinctive and in lieu of hard evidence, uses her antennae to detect and rule on "least-liar" basis. Has a highly developed sense of fairness and shines Sentinel truest and brightest when levelling the playing field for those who've been clearly treated unfairly or been taken advantage of by another. There is also a bit of the Sentinel 'mime' characteristic evident, the facial contortions and physical gestures that illustrate rather than speak an opinion, and with equal clarity. Idealist: Has a brusque manner that states by countenance alone that fools won't be suffered long, emotional outbursts won't be tolerated, and there'll be no courtroom chaos while Judge Judy sits. Being in control and having others dependent on them is a comfortable role for Idealists. Also note that Idealist quick-thinking and sharp-edged tongue are evident, as are brisk walk, crisp seeming nature, and typical drive for personal recognition. These all support our Judge Judy Profile thesis. One final note. If this reminds you of another recently "ANSIR®'d" celebrity, it should. Dr. Laura and Judge Judy are cousin-peas in Idealist pods. Note the family resemblance.
