Yes, in general and many times, people have the tendency to jump into conclusions before they even met a person. They make assumptions for one's character relying on his/hers race, gender, financial status etc. It's not the best thing to do because you don't really give yourself the chance to meet the other person when you already have an opinion about him/her. I have also done this mistake, some of the times I was wrong about the assumption, some true, it's not a practical thing to do but I think that is a human characteristic.

Thank you both for your answers :)

Smaragdi, that situation is more common within communication - someone hear or read something, and make conclusion based only that, without checking anything else

No, I am not agree with the statement, because the police investigations and research where there is no data for conclusion as evidance assumption can be use as tool base on similarity.

False:

Mr Eugene Lewis Fordsworthe initially said assumption is the mother of all mistakes. He later said his earlier philosophy that assumption is the mother of all mistakes was flawed, and he recognized that sometimes good comes from assumptions.
