Explanation:

The scenario that is being described in the question illustrates one of the problems associated with an implicit personality theory. This theory basically describes how the traits and patterns that a person may use in order to make a judgement call on what kind of person a stranger is based on very little detail. For example in this situation you judged a complete stranger as being a kind older woman, solely on the way she lookedWhich turned out to be wrong.
