It all depends on the reasons and necessity.
Are you a good judge of character?
Hiring someone for a top-job on managerial levels: definitely.
Might not workout after all though. Happened to me just once… and the nice chap, and with good credentials, did not get a permanent position after a 6-month trial period.
However:
Privately: family = family, their characters you know because you know.
Privately: friends, acquaintances: you either have them, putting up with their peculiarities or: you discontinue, finally having JUDGED their character incompatible with your CHARACTER.
Note: Being judgemental is NOT equal to being ‘a judge of character’.
And: it can happen someone wants to be *friends*…. watch out!!
When that occurs: do not feel flattered 🥰, but deal with it in a businesslike fashion. Be realistic.
No judge of character necessary there: just common sense: what do we have in common, do I like the way this unknown character looks, dresses, behaves, talks.
Choosing wisely….helps to avoid disappointments and wasting your time and input.
Note: never say never can happen too.
