Judgment Mirror

Where you disagree with yourself

Why it matters The interesting pairs are not the ones you agreed on. They are the ones where the wording moved you, and the ones your principles could not explain.

This lesson reads three drafts from this browser: your round 1 picks, your principles and your round 2 picks. It lists two things.

  • Changed pairs: where round 2, once undisguised, differs from round 1.
  • Not predicted: round 1 picks that your principles pointed the other way on.

For each changed pair, print both situations and both of your answers side by side, and the principles each option honours (pair["A"][1] and pair["B"][1]). Then read them slowly and ask:

  • Did the new wording show me a real difference (150 emails a day is not 200 jobs a day), or did it just sound different?
  • Is there a principle I use here that is not on my list?
  • Is there one on my list that I do not really use?

There is no score in this lesson and no right side of any pair. A changed pick with a good reason is judgment working. A changed pick with no reason you can name is worth noticing.

Recap Find where you moved and where your principles were silent or wrong. That is where your judgment has room to grow.

Your turn

Read picks (from "c-map-the-default/first-picks"), principles (from "c-judgment-mirror/write-your-principles") and picks2 (from "c-judgment-mirror/second-picks") with context.value_in. Write changed_pairs(picks, picks2): the round 1 pair ids, in order p1 to p12, answered in both rounds whose letters differ once round 2 is undisguised (X -> B, Y -> A, case-insensitive). Set changed = changed_pairs(picks, picks2) and print each changed pair's id, both questions and both of your answers. Set not_predicted: the pair ids where mirror.predict(principles, id) gives a letter that differs from your round 1 pick.
