What are we basing our impression on when we judge someone on first perspective without interacting with them?

Question

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!
