I can nearly always tell if a person is Jewish. Not by any distinguishing mark or anything like that , but just by they're personae. They seem to have an air about them that is hard to define.
Just out of interest why do you ask?

Only if dressed in religious garb or if they look particularly Jewish, Ben Kingsly is probably best example I can think of but most Jews just look like any other Mediterranean culture and most of the women are exceptionally beautiful.

Well I think not because when I moved into my new house this girl said I could guarantee I'm Jewish and I'm Catholic

Definately not, I have a number of Jewish friends who don't fit any stereotype.

Not as a rule, but there are markers, I can see that Natalie Portman is jewish by her skin tone and hair. But it's very hit and miss

It depends, If the jew is Ashkenaze and orthodox yes, I can tell. If the Jew is sephardic and orthodox I might mistake the Jew for a Muslim or I might guess correctly by coincidence. If the Jew is reform or liberal, I might even incorrectly guess them to be atheists. And, I think an honest Jew would say something similar.

NAAH- I don't believe this. The more extreme ones ARE instantly recognisable- the type you see caricatured in cartoons etc.
But there are African Jews too, don't forget.

Yes, especially if the are in a synagogue, and/or wearing Hasidic dress or a yamaka (sp?). Other than that, get real.

If they are dressed as a Jew, then yes quite easily, it's quite a distinctive garb the orthodox crowd wear.
