It means to come to your own meaning of the situation without thinking or taking in all the facts or looking at it from all different sides; to "jump" ahead and believe that you know the result of something without waiting for all of the information. You usually hear this said of someone who has reached the wrongconclusion.

∙ 14y agoTypically, individuals who jump to conclusions, assume what they hear, read, and see, is fact, without using critical thinking skills. Therefore, they blindly accept issues as true before they acquire and analyze all the facts. For example, they will blindly accept whatever a politician says, whatever a TV commercial says or indicates, whatever a professor says, whatever a friend may say etc. Another example might be that they see someone staggering while walking down the street a 2:00am and assume the individual is drunk. However, only to find out the individual is suffering a heart attack. The danger is that their initial perception may not be true reality. In other words, they jumped to a conclusion that was utterly incorrect.
