Of course, I believe that physical appearance can have an effect on one's personality. It can be a big factor when it comes to creating self-image, as physical appearance may be all that peers see. Though most of the time physical appearance can play a huge factor in personality, there are certain times when physical appearance does not affect personality and self-image much. It is in the latter type that false snap judgments can be created, as it results in people not being read so easily, and therefore not conforming to stereotypes. I would say nine times out of ten physical appearance has somewhat of a reflection on personality, although there can and will be the occasional exception.
If everyone's personality was related to their physical appearance, the world would be even more centered around stereotypes than it is now, since there is a greater likelihood that these stereotypes would be true to the person. Nearly every snap judgement and accusation would most likely be true, and there would be little to no diversity.
