When I first met Nina, I disliked her at once. She was wearing skintight pedal pushers, a flashy, floppy top, and sneakers with no socks - bizarrely inappropriate even at our very informal company. Soon, Nina was doggedly pumping me for information about the new department I was
running, where she hoped to get a permanent job. Not a chance, I thought. Not if I have anything
to say about it However, I didn’t Within a few days she was‘trying out’,for me. I gave her a moderately difficult, uninteresting, and unimportant project that I didn’t need for months. It took that long for her successor to put in order the mess she had made out of ft Although I couldn’t have prediction exactly what Nina would do,in three minutes I had assessed her as someone who could not be relied on to get a job done.

Unconsciously, we often ask and quickly answer certain questions: Will I enjoy talking to him at this party? Will she make an interesting friend? Will he/she make a good boss / sales manager / secretary for me? If we get to know the person better, we may change our minds. But
we may not have the chance.

I was using a combination of observation, inference and intuition.
