Since most of the homeworld gems are cold and calculating and follow logic. She might have been a homeworld gem as seen with her space suit having a diamond. I assume that and the fact that Rose was able to convert the other gems. Also despite being intelligient is highly emotional and lets her emotions guide her. While Peridot and Jasper aren't guided by what seems to be emotions. While Peridot though reacts to things negatively against her logic and worried mainly due to logic and order. Jasper meanwhile is like Vegeta guided by the urge for a good fight and follows military like logic and didn't see that steven and the other gems at first were threats. Peridot is really our only example of Homeworld Gems being Logical..... And Jasper's personality contradicts that quite a bit.

Had Jasper been someone who was Logical she wouldn't have wanted to return to the homeworld with out finishing the mission they originally set out to do, which was restart the kindergarten.

They had already detained the crystal gems, so logically they should have finished their original mission because as far as they knew Steven, Garnet, and the others where no longer a threat.

But Jasper was so fixated on reporting Rose Quartz and Steven to Yellow Diamond that she wouldn't even allow Peridot to do her job, which if anything has much higher militeristic significants than what ever she thought steven was.

As for Jasper's obeservation of Pearl, Pearl hadn't done or said anything that would give Jasper an idea as to what her mindset was. Yes she was standing against them, BUT the only information Jasper knew about her was what she knew about Pearl upon seeing her for the first time.

What ever defect she was talking about when she called Pearl a "lost, defective pearl", was clearly something she could just see and make an observation about.

Another thing to back up that statement is the comments Jasper made upon exiting the ship.

"This is it?" "Looks like another waste of my time."

Meaning what ever reports Peridot made, Jasper aparently didn't bother to really listen to. Which kind of goes along with the arogant personality she has.

What ever defect Pearl has, its one that can aparently be seen. =S
