judger

Person who decides

A judger is someone who judges—forms opinions, makes assessments, or passes verdicts.

The word often carries a negative connotation, implying someone quick to criticize or condemn others: Don't be such a judger.

In personality typing systems like Myers-Briggs, a judger prefers structure and decisiveness over flexibility.
