When you for one reason or another judge somebody, including yourself, what do you consider? Should people be valued based on character, actions, beliefs, relations? What would be an ideal model to live up to in your eyes?

I tend to really value honesty and someone who is aware they aren't more important than anyone else in the room, arrogance and lying are two things that make me very judgmental and if someone has both those characteristics then i'll have a good chance of getting along with them.

Kind of along the same lines of honesty (also an important trait), but I just can't affiliate myself with huge gossipers. I just don't want to hear about all the crap about other people when they aren't around to defend themselves. Even though I am a pretty likeable person, I can't help but also think about what shit they are talking about me when I am not around.

Generally, I get along with just about anybody out there, so I can't attribute to many traits. I am good friends of folks of both genders, all ages, different religious backgrounds, different political beliefs, and the whole spectrum of life. As long as you are a fairly nice person, we will get along just fine.

Honesty coupled with empathy and compassion makes for a very good base I think. It's certainly how I try to model myself. Free thinking is another important trait.

Honesty and empathy.

Also a lack of stupidity. If someone isn't intelligent or doesn't have the inclination to do away with their ignorance, they better at least be humble and know when to shut up.

Nobody likes an ignorant asshole or one that thinks he's right.

A few things-
Honesty
Hard working (don't like the person is lazy or an can't be arse attitude without good reasons)
Friendliness (this hold true as I hate my current manager alot as I hold better respect to the previous manager and deputy for their friendly manner unlike the current manager for being mean to almost everyone at work).

Honesty - The foundation of all relationships
Modesty - very rare these days
Stability - nothing worse than short tempered and unpredictable people
Good looks - I appreciate beauty.

Integrity is number 1 for me. Doing the right thing even when no one is watching. Saying one thing and then turning around and doing the exact opposite, that's a no-go for me.

I'd go with integrity too. Humour, funny people make for the best friends. Doesn't follow the majority, and is a bit weird. I can't stand people who has to do something because everyone else does it, even though they may not want too. Honesty is good, but it depends on the situation. Sometimes you don't want to know everything.

Good healthy organs...

Ok. A healthy sense of humility, the ability to be self deprecating without being a door mat.

I respect and value a few simple, yet increasingly rare qualities in a human being:
That they care for the well being of themselves, others, and the world.
That they have a strong sense of justice, and a strong respect for people of all races, gender, nationalities, and sexuality.
That they believe in their dreams and seek them out actively.
That they put the needs of the many over the needs of the few.
And that they never judge others without good reason.

Seems simple enough, but I've only met a few people like this. I like to think that I fit the categories here, but I do realize using myself as an example isn't very modest.

Boobs!

Ha! I crack myself up.

I'll go a little more serious with honesty, loves themselves, and motivated to do stuff. But you can skip all that if you have boobs... Just jokes!

If you can't accept the fact that you can't be the center of attention every moment of every day, then we have a problem.

People have to have some sort of integrity of character and be interesting to even get on my radar. Otherwise I filter them out automatically, I won't remember there name or face so I guess I highly value both, but I don't really have an ideal model for people I'd value. If there were people like that I'd find them boring like a "Mary Sue" character.

I also value honor heavily, never hiding their intentions.

Honesty, integrity, self confidence, a respect for other people. And knowing when to put themselves first, and when to put someone else first because they need a friend.

A sense of humor is needed too, of course.

I look for honesty, intelligence, integrity, morality, and compassion. Honor. Respect, both for themselves and for those very different from themselves.
I adhere to the old code and bushido. I want to associate with those who not only would do the right thing when no one was looking, but would do what's right even if it meant making a difficult choice or a personal sacrifice.
Courage is another big one. I admire those who stand up for what they think is right even if it were to put them in harm's way.
I try to deal with people openly and honestly, and I don't think it unreasonable to expect at least a little in return.

I hate bitchiness. It is hard to explain exactly what that entails, I just know it when I see or hear it, and I know someone who if bitchiness was an olympic event, would set an UNBREAKABLE record for gold medals.

for me there's only my masters, and my masters' associates. the masters are the ones from which i accept commands, and their associates are allocated attention respective of relative commands. everyone else is irrelevant.
i value people as much as i'm supposed to. but i don't put any personal stake in the matter. the relevant receive their dues as long as they maintain their position, and in the case of losing their relevance, they become irrelevant, and that's all there is to it. and the irrelevant may as well be empty space as far as they concern me.

I value a good work ethic in those around me.
I value people who stick to honesty, even if it isn't what the rest of the world might want to hear.
I value people who own their burdens. We all have our shit, you just need to embrace it and learn to not get it on the carpet... or other people.

to me it's kindness trustworthiness and respect, I don't receive as much as I give, but I will never stop being kind trustworthy or respectful to people and expecting it back.
