Personalities accurately judged by physical appearance alone

So you can judge a book by its cover?

Personalities accurately judged by physical appearance alone:
"Observers were able to accurately judge some aspects of a stranger's personality from looking at photographs, according to a study in the current issue of Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin (PSBP), the official monthly journal of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology. Self-esteem, ratings of extraversion and religiosity were correctly judged from physical appearance."
