What makes advice, good? Do you ask a question simply to find someone that agrees with you or tells you what you want to hear. OR do you weigh the words from an unbiased individual as well? How do you evaluate good advice? Could be for any application really whether it be financial, personal, professional etc etc.

When I ask for advice it's because I'm so wound up in whatever is or isn't going on that I can't see the forest for the trees as the saying goes.
I'm hoping that whomever I ask will help clarify things or call me on fooling around or thinking fallaciously. I'm NOT looking for agreement; I'm looking for as close to the "truth" as anyone can get.
Needless to say, the more personal the issue is, the less likely I am to ask anyone I don't already know pretty well and, more importantly, trust.
As far as something like financial advice is concerned, I'd probably ask friends first to recommend an expert, and then go to that person. I can't know everything. If I didn't feel a rapport -- an intuitive "click" with that person, I'd probably go elsewhere. (I've done that with doctors, for example.)

Usually it's the most logical, reasonable and rational answer. Professionalism plays a big factor as well.

Advice can only be found to be good/bad if it's results were good/bad.
