I am all three.
I think my sarcasm came from relegating myself to a clique of debaters in college. It just kind of rubbed off on me during a very impressionable part of my life. But, I'm not nearly as sarcastic now as I was in college. Now I'm generally turned off by people that are sarcastic all the time.
Some people think I'm too critical. I just have a broad array of interests and generally stay up to date on current events so there isn't much that can come up in conversation that I don't have an opinion on. Usually I express my opinions not as a means to attack the person, but just to develop a more deep and interesting conversation. I'v learned over the years that in such conversations its better to remain inquisitive rather than to become aggressive and assertive.
Judgmental. Absolutely. I don't generally judge people by how they look or how they interact socially. I do judge people on what movies, books, and music they like. They don't have to like the same things as me... but I'll judge them if they like things that I hate.
