Judging makes Connections in the
process of Identifying something, someone or some experience. Judging can be based on "facts" or on other judgments.

Because Judging makes connections, it necessarily involves experiences Between-Time, Through-Time and/or across examples (arrayed in space or layered in matter).

Two important kinds of Judging are about How Things Are (State of Affairs) and about How Things Should Be.

An Emergent Outcome, in the sense that aspiration or the direction you should be going represents "Pure form" (not simply an Identity).

Recall an event that is In-Time. Note what is Set-Down from this event. Now recall one that is Between-Time and compare Set-Down. Finally recall an event that is definitely Through-Time and think about the Set-Down and Set-Up.

Judging can be done at different points in time (Between-Time or Through-Time). It can also be done across two or more examples of the same type or class of objects or events.

Judging over time or across examples can be "well-formed" to the degree that it:
Takes into account the same factors
Is based on representative examples

An Emerging Outcome.

For example, Judging is similar but different in important respects from Deciding. Equating and Inferring are even more closely related to Judging. Each of these types of thinking can be broken down further into more detail.

With Judging understood in the context of Thinking, questions can be posed which clarify the client's judging process:

"What" questions -
What were you paying attention to (concentrating on, etc.) in deciding this is true?
Were you differentiating __ from __ in concluding this is true?
Did you notice (ignore, particularly focus in on) ___ as you were forming this view?

"How" questions -
What questions needed clearing up before drawing your conclusion?
Have you debated other views on this?
How did you first realize that this might be true?
In coming to your conclusion, how did you weigh the information (describe the sequence of your thinking)?
Was deciding this (up to the point where you came to your conclusion) an easy or difficult process for you?

"Why" questions -
What is convincing you that this is true?
When did you begin believing that this is true?
When did you realize (you believed) this to be true?
Are there other things you already knew which helped in deciding about this?
Is this an example of something else (another or more general case) you know to be as you believe here?
Is this case illustrating a more general rule in your opinion?
Which fact(s) or thing(s) that happened, if not true, would change your mind on this?
How do you know (how have you realized) that ___ causes (is the same as, always accompanies...) ___?

Taking the two judgments of change into account, comparing and judging what progress, continuity, direction is occuring.
