How do you judge a persons value?

You don't. We are all of equal value, no matter what we do or say, or what we look like. No matter what terrible things a person might have done, their value as a human being does not change.

First of all, a compliment to the OP. It's not often I have to think hard about a question before I answer it.

The answer I came up with is that value is contextual. It's not intrinsic. It's value "to" something or someone else. Because of this, I'm going to find myself agreeing with virtually everyone who has responded to this. As dom180 and MissSorel say, we're all born with an equal chance of being valuable. Even if we commit evil, we still have the chance to be of value and it's the same chance as anyone else. As howaminotmyself says, leaving no trace is very valuable to the world ecologically. As various others say, doing good, being kind, being entertaining, making a difference implies value. But even a model good looks are valuable in the context of them being a model.

So I guess it's not that people have an individual value. It's more a matrix of values between the person and the valuer.

By their actions. That is all.

Try not to judge people.

actions but sometimes actions are dictated by the specific circumstances of a particular situation...best would be to always put everything in context

I don't judge people. They smoke? Cool. They don't smoke? Cool. Wear too much make-up? Fine then. Don't wear make-up? Perfectly fine. I get to know them. THEM. Not their appearance or intelligence

I do not see why intelligence is the only thing to judge a person as valuable. That means if you meet a mentally retarded person you judge them as bad because they are slow. People assume that if you are smart you can not do bad and that is simply not the case.

Moral and actions. Some people are smart but complete dicks they do not deserve any respect.

I judge values by intelligence, actions and political/religious beliefs.

A bit of all of that i suppose.

Their actions toward me and other people
they talk about their family/significant other and get happy
care about things i care about
funny
The less they have the more value I hold for them (i'll help if possible)

I don't really think I'd judge their value, regardless of what they do, but I appreciate people personally who try to be honest and non-judgmental.

I dont.

By their will and strength to live and keep living.

Wealth, status, actions: all of it flows from inward characteristics.

Therefore that's what's important.

I think of people, as a whole, as invaluable.
There are just too many to be beneficial anymore.
As far as individuals go, they've got to stand out with one beautiful labyrinth of a mind for me to see them as something truly valuable.

There should be an option to allow people to have more than one selection.

I would say i judge people by the inner beauty, their moral and ethic values, their level of education, and the way to treat people.

good luck getting honest answers here

Actions and inner self.
