Trait
The character trait of being critical or judgmental is one that is exhibited often, but which has a negative impact on human communication. Therefore, it may be helpful to devise ways of measure the trait of being critical or judgmental. The research on measuring the trait can be used in business environments, to understand how to foster better interpersonal relations and employee satisfaction.
To properly study the character trait of being critical or judgmental, it is necessary to first keep the target population relatively narrow. This would eliminate any potential for bias and increase the external validity and internal validity of any research based on the test. The target population could, for example, be white women between the ages of 18 and 24. It would be helpful to further narrow down this target population to white women who are between the ages of 18 and 24 and also from a wealthy socio-economic background -- which would be defined by a household income held by their parents throughout the course of the target population childhood.
Rauscher (2007) points out that verbalizations alone are not sufficient to measure the trait of being critical or judgmental of others. "Unconscious facial expressions or other subtle physical behaviors will almost always give us away," (Rauscher, 2007). Therefore, the test of this trait should incorporate measures of body language and other types of non-verbal communication. Self-reporting is easy and useful, but not as reliable as a more robust analysis of the target population.
One sample question in the test would involve showing the participants photographs of people in various situations. The participants are asked to write a one-line biography of the individual in the photograph. This question will reveal what kind of negative thoughts or judgments the people are making based solely on the appearance of others.

unsuccessful leaders in modern society, one will notice modern leaders considered successful are those that embrace change and work to empower subordinates and followers in a non-threatening manner, and in a manner that is consistent with other's ideologies and spiritual beliefs (Siegel, 2001). This confirms the theory of transformational leadership where leaders work to enable change in an uncomplicated and organized fashion. This theory of leadership is possible and
