The statement implies that Sally believes she can judge one person's personality better than the other. This overconfidence bias, which refers to the tendency to believe that we know more than we actually do, can lead to inaccurate judgments. Since Sally thinks she can judge Charlie better than Lucy, she may have a more positive or negative bias towards Charlie, which could lead to less accurate judgments. Thus, it is more likely that Sally will be more accurate in her judgments of Lucy than Charlie.
