Yes, i very much do. I think humans as a race are very good at judging things before knowing them properly. Because the cover is the first thing you see, it's the first thing you judge the book by - even more than the summarization (if that's a word!) on the backside of the cover.

Heck ya. More over I judge by the title though.If every one didn't judge a book by the cover, you'd have no time to read good books because you'd be reading all books regardless of the cover and most with bad covers seriously are bad books.

I judge based upon your actions. I am usually right, and usually will not talk to you anyway. I stereotyped a few times, and they have been correct for over a year and a half now, with zero exceptions.

Depends on the circumstances, but yeah I do some thimes I guess. Mainly it would just be like, "Dang that one guy is all big and buff, he must be really tough." Then he ends up being kinda friendly and what not...Also in the literal sense I do judge just about every book by its cover. If I looks cool I'll normally read the back and see.

Yeh i usually do, and sadly a lot of the time i am right about my assumptions, but i never take it to seriously, people are going to be who they are regardless of what they are anyway, so what's the big deal?

Everyone stereotypes to one degree or another, it is just human nature.

Yes I do. And...most of the time, after absorbing it, I regret ever thinking such things.

I do for sure. When I walk into a room, I automatically assume that I'm more intelligent than 9 out of 10 people in the room, if not the full 10.

Usually not, but we all make first impressions, the important thing is to be ready to throw it away if we get to know the person

Sometimes I do, then when I get to know the person I totally regret it.And I love making fun of stereotypes, even if they're related to myself. I'm Asian, and I like making people laugh, so sometimes I do make fun of my own race as a joke.
