Upright
You judge by the standard rather than by who benefits. Expertise and experience give the decision weight, and legal, contractual and assessment work goes well.
Reversed
Self-righteous, or using logic to hold people down. Being right is not the same as persuading.
Advice
State the standard before the verdict. It is the reasoning that persuades, not the conclusion.
