A Venn Diagram of how to rate man's worth.

Here's how I measure it. It takes one symbol. Here it is:

Ignoring the comments of people who don't want a serious discussion... (I mean man as in "people," it's a bad habit, I know. It was besides the point though.)

(Now I can't even quote stuff for some reason)

@Mike Cl & Aitm:
Note that this is also my personal moral way of measuring the worth of my peers. I measure the worth of a person by the following traits:
+ How Happy/Content with life they are.
+ How Competent at what they do they are.
+ How much do they contribute to Society.

@Baruch:
Oh? I know that. This is my best tool though when I need to make judgements of character. Any other complaints?

No complaints.  No more than I have with Meyers-Briggs.  But your trait criteria is right out of Socrates.  So good job ;-)

Meh.   

External evaluation is highly subjective and could easily differ wildly--likely wouldn't mean much to most anyway if it differed significantly from their self image.  Even if they agreed with the assessment (as less than they wanted to be)--they'd have to WANT to change and stick with it for life.

Self evaluation--yes, it does remind me of the Meyers Briggs TPI  evaluation (much more complicated/nuanced than this diagram); which a former employer thought was a good idea for supervisors to go through (yuppie management fad at the time--though MBTPI has been around for quite a while) as a means of improving our supervisory skill when making staff assignments.  The problem with all self evals is their total vulnerability to the individual's self objectivity (an almost chimera like quality in my book).  Who's the easiest person in the world to lie to?  Go look in the mirror.

So all people are worth exactly the same? Pol Pot and a selfless charity worker are worth the same? A child rapist is worth the same as you?

I disagree strongly.

You've got a real chip on your shoulder about productivity don't you? Did some one accuse you of being lazy once or are you just trying to convince your self?

I believe three years ago in fact. My dad was the culprit. I've gotten better grades and done many chores since.

I measure my worth in inches. Circumference, not length.

Bravo ... you can move up to a better cabin and a better cotton field ;-)
