Speech for sure, especially articulation errors like lisping or weak 'r' sounds, grammar, regional accent, etc.

What can you tell about them or how do you judge them when youfirst meet them. I can easily pick out a cowboy in a crowd, just as easily as some glamour girl. But once you talk to them, you might find you like the glamour girl better than the cowboy. Not always, but sometimes. Appearances really don't hold much water for me. The coyboy might feel that the best way to train a horse is to break their spirit and starve them half to death in order to get them to comply. The glamour girl might be totally concerned about factory farming and organic locally grown food. Now, me and the way I dress , one might say I would get along better witht he cowboy, but not if that is his way of treating animals. OTOH, considering the way I dress, one might assume I would have very little in common with a glamour girl, but if she is concerned about animal welfare as in factory farming etc, I would be more inclined to spend time with the glamour gal.

Tobacco smell on their hair or clothes makes my nose twitchy and messes up their skin tone and texture, If they smoke much- it gives them certain facial lines and their skin starts to look almost like a corpse.
I can smell alcohol, including vodka and gin. I worked in a liquor store for a while and just got to recognize what they drank by their body scent. The skin gets weird on the arms and face of heavy drinkers.
I can sense it when somebody has a really nasty temper. Even if they are in a good mood at the time.
I usually recognize "players" and can spot when some people are lying.
I must have a magnet for people with brain cooties. I've known lots of people that are bipolar, and a few other types of diagnoses.
I have good gaydar, probably from having plenty of friends that are.
I can recognize pagans pretty easily, because we have it in common.
Pretty good at spotting people who have been abused, from body language and a certain vibe.
It's pretty easy to spot where somebody is hurting.
Wish I could smell the hormones, like Abi, Things would make more sense sometimes.

Smells are big for me too....I was cursed with sensitive olfactory abilities. 
I can smell when someone has a sinus infection, yeast/fungal infection~be it oral or otherwise 
, smoke or smokeless tobacco and even if they have only had one or two beers instead of 3 or more. Their perfume, hair spray or deodorant is very distinctive to me and sometimes very overpowering.
I can even smell if they have advanced cancer in their body...their body fluids and breath have a peculiar sweet/rotten smell that one never forgets, particularly if that cancer is GI cancer.
These are all gifts I'd prefer not to have. :/
