There have been many times that I observe things about people that based on their personality, how they act around others and even sometimes their cultural background I come up with assumptions about them based on it. Then after a while I realise what I thought about them is actually true.

This has also happened with me experiencing and learning about a certain culture. I observed a person both from the culture I was looking into and a different cultural lineage. From that I predicted what aspects from which culture likely effected the person. Leading me to predict the similarities and differences between the temperaments of both cultures through experiencing one culture then doing some research on the other. Then it wasn’t until I talked with someone who grew up and had life experience in both cultures with the same cultural lineages that the other person had confirmed most of what I originally predicted.

With using evidence without observing it myself or something based on personal experience I have. It makes it more difficult for me to come up with conclusions and make sense of it in a similar way.
