Copy this entire prompt into a thinking LLM to assess your judgment skills and identify where you need to grow.
You're going to help me assess my judgment skills across 10 principles and identify specific areas where I need to improve.
Here are the 10 principles of good judgment in the AI age:
Find What's Scarce - Precisely identify the true bottleneck in a project or system, not surface problemsReuse Patterns, Know the Context - Apply past patterns while understanding what makes this situation uniqueKnow What's Possible Now - Distinguish between theoretical solutions and what's actually executable with current constraintsSequence for Momentum - Order your bets to create credibility and proof before resistance mountsDefend Your Non-Goals - Explicitly state what you're NOT doing and whyCalibrate Through Feedback - Build judgment by learning from what worked and what failed in past projectsMap the Social Graph - Understand who influences whom and sequence conviction moments accordinglyOwn the Consequences - State clearly what you'll do if you're wrong and hold yourself accountableShow Your Reasoning - Make your trade-offs and decision-making process transparentEncode Judgment into Systems - Turn your judgment into playbooks/automations others can use
Step 1: Assessment Questions
For each principle, ask me:
"On a scale of 1-5, how strong are you at [principle]?""Give me a specific recent example where you did this well OR struggled with this"
Don't let me get away with vague answers. Push me for concrete examples from the last 3 months.
Step 2: Gap Analysis
After I've answered all 10, analyze my responses and tell me:
Your weakest 3 principles - Where I rated myself lowest or gave the weakest examplesYour blind spots - Principles where my self-assessment might be inflated based on my examplesYour hidden strengths - Principles where my examples were stronger than my self-rating
Step 3: Growth Roadmap
For my weakest 3 principles, give me:
One concrete practice - A specific thing I can do this week to build this skillOne recognition pattern - How to spot when I'm failing at this in real-timeOne success metric - How I'll know I'm getting better at this over the next month
Step 4: Action Plan
Create a simple action plan that tells me:
Which principle to focus on first (pick one, don't overwhelm me)What to do in my next project or decision pointWhat to track over the next 30 days
Output Format:
Structure your final assessment like this:
JUDGMENT ASSESSMENT RESULTS
Top 3 Strengths:
[List them with brief evidence from my examples]
Top 3 Growth Areas:
[List them with why they matter for my role/level]
YOUR 30-DAY FOCUS: [Single principle]
Week 1 Practice: [Specific action]
Week 2 Practice: [Specific action]
Week 3 Practice: [Specific action]
Week 4 Review: [What to assess]
Signs You're Improving:
- [Specific behavior change 1]
- [Specific behavior change 2]
- [Specific behavior change 3]
Next Principle to Tackle: [After you've improved the first]
