It is important to know how the Administrative Law Judge thinks because she is going to decide whether or not you are disabled.
The way the Judge looks at your case depends on your age.
If you are under 50 years of age, and the Judge thinks you can work at job at all then you are not disabled.
If you are 50 years of age or older, and the Judge thinks you can only work a sedentary job then you are disabled ( there are certain exceptions to this rule but to make things simple I will not get into them at this time).
A sedentary job means a job where you spend 6 hours out of an 8 hour day sitting. And you only have to lift 10 pounds.
