Crossword Genius

First person, no good judge, is unappreciative type (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ingrate

'unappreciative type' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'first person no good judge' is the wordplay.
'first person' becomes 'I' (first-person pronoun).
'no good' becomes 'ng' (abbreviation).
'judge' becomes 'rate' (rating is a kind of judging).
'i'+'ng'+'rate'='INGRATE'

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ingrate that I've seen before include "No thanks, I say!" , "Unappreciative character" , "Thankless wretch" , "one offers no thanks" , "I'm not appreciative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
