      Was talking to Jessica about her judgments of people, and we were astonished to find she'd never had a false positive, in 14 years in the startup world. Everyone she thought was a bad egg turned out to be one.

      She's had false negatives – people she thought were ok but turned out to be bad. But if you're going to have error, that's the side you want it to be on.

      I know very few people who are as good at anything as Jessica is at judging character. It is amazing to watch her at work. Only a handful of people have ever seen it though.

          Why do you think that is? What series of events "trained" such a skill?

          How much time does she need for detecting? Does she need to interact with the subject? Could she tell from a video, a picture or a simple facial gesture?

          My bosses say that I have this ability, and now they listen to my blink impressions on people as they typically play out to be correct over months/years. I need to figure out how to develop it and what I can do with it professionally.

          Everyone this is the Jessica he's taking about @jesslivingston and @paulg married her or maybe she was the brilliance behind that 🤔 Either way give her a follow!

          How much interaction needed before making that judgement? One interview/conversation?

          Can we request for her to write a narrative on how this is done?

          She should make videos about this.

          My husband is just like this. He makes specific predictions about what people will do with eerie uncertainty. He’s predicted every one of my red flag clients’ end. I’ve learned to stop questioning because he’s obvs picking up on something I’m not...
