Hi Ev,

It depends on when the judgement is made.... Going into a situation, I never think that it will be "worth it." I actually went through a phrase where I actually beleived it wasn't "worth it" to do anything....Bad news.. But by the end of the experience, I usually come out happy and satisfied. I tend to expect the worst, and then perceive the best once it happens (even if in reality others thought it was subpar)


: Psychologists divide people up into two main types as a way to distinguish their abilities to be satisfied. One group is called "warm fuzzies" and the other "cold pricklies". Warm fuzzies are people who go into a situation expecting a pleasant and satisfying outcome. Example: If you do work for them they are easy to please as long as the job is well done.

: Cold pricklies are those who are never satisfied with the efforts of others. If you do work for them they will always find something about what you've done that they aren't pleased with.

: Type 4's, iNFp's, eNFp's, etc.;are you a warm fuzzy or a cold prickly?

: Ev
