| sexy | If you are not using independent professional judgement with the public, clients, prospects, employers, employees and fellow members then who are you using it with??? |
| Chay | The word "respect" appears nowhere in The Code of Ethics. |
| kuan | Hmm.. Seems like professional judgement is associated with analysis and Integrity, competence and dignity is associated with people! |
| hizmo | Read the code. |

| fndc99999 | "respect" adds a lot of confusion in this question and makes it a hard one |
| jojoman | RESPECT? where did you find that? |
| Janey | The word respect is on page 11 under the code of ethics, so not sure why people are having trouble finding it..... |
| volkovv | First line in Code of Ethics: "Act with integrity, competence, diligence, respect..." |
| RNAN | R. E. S. P. E. C. T.....that is a Aretha Franklin song: ...what you want, Baby I got... |
| mcspaddj | Respect is going to be my downfall in the industry. |
| midwest | where does independent judgment come in? i remember reading about that... |
| Clint | In the explanation ANs has "Use reasonable care and exercise independent professional judgment" Why is A wrong? Every word in the explanation is in the answer A. |
| cfahitman | A is wrong because "independent professional judgment" isn't used when dealing with public, clients, prospects. the first line of answer says it. |
| hyperinflation | Nit Picky! Independent judgment is used when doing investment analysis, reccomendations, and actions. |
