"Elves are able of seeing the inner thoughts of people (remember Galadriel) much faster than we are; and probably they can distinguish this 'inner beauty' at first sight."
Given the way they fall for the blandishments of Morgoth and Sauron I kind of doubt that.
Granted I was being a bit flip but there's plenty of evidence that the 'High Elves' were unduly influenced by physical appearances. At least in the First Age, there's some indications they improved later, but not much given that Celebrimbor and Co. fell for Sauron, though both Galadriel and Gil-Galad seem to have sensed he wasn't a good 'un.
I admit I am very conscious of our Fair Friend's faults, including a propensity for fair faces and plausible tongues, an inability to handle strife, uncertainty or unpleasant surroundings, and a tendency towards isolationism.
Not to mention tendencies towards arrogance, selfishness and intolerance. A jealousy of Men and resentment of their fate - to fade away and leave the world to the Second Comers.
This is not of course to say that Men and Dwarves, and yes even Hobbits! don't have their faults too. But the Professor himself pointed out Elves were not quite as perfect as they liked to cast themselves.
