misjudger

One who errs

A misjudger is someone who misjudges—who forms incorrect assessments of people, situations, or circumstances.

The word is uncommon, appearing mostly when the act of misjudging needs a noun: He was a chronic misjudger of character.

Usually people just say someone "misjudged" rather than labeling them a misjudger.
