What tells you a lot about a person without speaking to them? Fill in the blank!
Example: You can tell a lot about a person by how clean they keep their toilet. You can tell a lot about a person by their front lawn. You can tell a lot about a person by their handshake. You can tell a lot about a person by their hygiene.

That's bullshit. I can tell someone's physical attributes, and if they're in a gang and flying colors I can tell what gang they're in, if someone's on a motorcycle I can tell they like to ride bikes, etc. You don't think peoples' self-expression allows them to make an impression on someone without speaking to them? Fuck outta here with that shit.

you forget to factor in posers tho. You just can't alwaes tell who is pretending and who is genuine, and you can't even know yourself if you're really who you are or you are who you're pretending to be.

Say you build houses, you can drive by a house and tell what kind of work went into it by looking at it. If it was cheap or not etc. You can't tell how a person is by how they are? Then you're blind. You never will be able to judge how someone's intentions truly are, maybe a base, but never all the way.
-------------------- its that bitter-sweet-sour, electric-smooth-twang. everything you ever have, are. or will feel along with every emotion, joy, hate, love, fear or aspiration burning down your nerves and into the fabric of your place in this existence at ten thousand degrees above and below zero will you find yourself wondering if you've been dead or alive this whole time. being born over and over only to die over and over hoping the wheel stops in the same place it started when you spun it, and when it finally does and you can step back and take a nice deep breath you realize how beautiful life is, remember, wake up to the most beautiful day of your life every single day, its just the way.

There is truth to every stereotype but they aren't definitive and are only good ways of guessing.
The stuff you've mentioned is mundane and isn't what you would be able to notice about someone, you don't know how clean someone's toilet is just by looking at them.
Handshakes can actually tell you a lot about someone, mostly how confident they are in that given moment depending on the grip strength of their handshake.
As for actual signs of what a person is like, stereotypes can help.
Body language is very important, different people carry themselves differently and the way in which they do so often correlates to how they view themselves, good body language probably means better self esteem.
Eyes! The eyes are very important in getting to know someone and you can often tell what's really on a persons mind by looking at their eyes/eye movements. If someone can't look you in the eyes they may be anxious.
The way someone dresses can give hints to the sort of cultural influences they follow and the music they listen to. This isn't always right but it can be generalised.
If someone is wearing a bandshirt it's easier to determine some things they like.
There are various cultures within every single culture and if you can learn to identify each culture then you can label which ones an individual most likely fits into.
Overall the best indicator of what a person is like without having to visually judge them is to listen to them. How they talk is very important, do they talk about themselves, say little, say a lot, talk about nonsense, talk intelligently etc. The conversation you have with someone will probably have similarities to the next conversation you have with them because it's their personality that fuels the conversation.
What I'm suggesting is basically a statistical view of what a person is like based on their appearance, overall body language and speech behaviors, if you know anything about statistics you'll know it isn't exact and is only a recommended estimation.

IMO how a person keeps their room says alot about their current mental state. If thier room is unclean it says their mind is sort of scattered. Finals and midterms make my room messy. The day after I am destressed and clean it right back up

Both of those are good.
I am leery about people when I see their animals shy away from them.

Yes. A good indicator is how they treat people in the service industry - when I've gone out on dates with people I particularly pay attention to how they treat the servers, bartenders, etc. because it's such a telltale.
I'm super mellow and not easily offended by any kind of conversation topic imagineable, but I think politeness and manners are important, where I live things are usually rushed in that regard, but it's still possible to fit in a sense of courtesy and basic respect for others around you while still keeping up with the pace of everything.

Another thing you can tell a lot about a person by is what they say when other people's backs are turned. If they are talking shit about the girl across the room, they're probably talking shit about you, and they're almost definitely not a nice person.
