Please consider showing more of the variation and including more information about it in your results.
You conclude, for example, that "In general, it can be concluded that people can and do make snap judgments about personality and abilities based on superficial physical characteristics."
However, a cursory stroll through ranking people on your site reveals that actually, peoples' "snap judgments" show very high subjective variability, and you see these graphs which just have data points all over the place, looking more like a uniform distribution than a clear "everyone things you look smart and extroverted."
Given this, can you profile a burst of ratings? Can you say that there are a coherent group who rated Alice as smart extrovert and Bob as smart introvert and Carol as dumb extrovert -- and can you profile their preferences? Or do most people just browse through your site clicking randomly on the axes without any real reflection on the people they're rating?
We could see this if we could see error bars, but aside from your very first image where you try to show that there is a negative correlation between smartness and sociability, info on variability seems quite nonexistent. (And even there, it is clear that the variability dwarfs the trendline.) Also, you might want to see if there are systematic biases -- what happens if you flip the introvert/extrovert axis for some IP addresses?

Agreed. All plots should be scatter plots with line-of-best-fit drawn over it.
