Misjudgment occurs when someone makes an incorrect assessment or decision about a situation, person, or event. This can happen due to a lack of information, personal biases, or emotional influences. For example, if someone assumes that a quiet person is unfriendly, they may miss out on forming a valuable friendship. In many cases, misjudgment can lead to misunderstandings and conflict. For instance, if a manager misjudges an employee's performance based on a single incident, it could affect the employee's career growth. Recognizing and correcting misjudgments is essential for better communication and relationships in both personal and professional settings.
