Judging BY or Judging FROM

Should I use "judging by" or "judging from" in the example below?

Judging from / Judging by your behavior, I must conclude that you are a complete idiot!

If the sentence is badly written, would you please rephrase it for me using "judging by" or "judging for"?

Thank you.

Both 'judging by' and 'judging from' are used, with about equal frequency. Your sentence is fine with either one of those choices. 'judging for' can't be used with the same meaning.
