When you see someone that you haven’t even met but you immediately start forming thoughts like “This person looks annoying” etc, is it true that people’s personality reflect on their phyiscal appearance? How often are our assumptions correct and how do they work? Thanks!

You actually make a judgement of the person in less than 0.10 seconds of seeing them. You just become consciously aware of it later. And all of it is based on evolutionary hints. Physical size, symmetry signaling quality of their genes and their access / ability to acquire resources as a child. The very same reason the Halo effect exists where we subconsciously attribute good qualities to good-looking people without any evidence.
