Not sure if I'm getting the question correctly but I would not be able to tell if an unfamiliar person is a strong or weak player. Only the record of their ROI or profitability could tell if they're such.

Somehow, we need to be familiarized with their strategy to tell if they have a winning or loosing one. Usually, TAG is a winning strategy & LAG is not but players can mix it up in the tourney so it could be difficult to tell if a player is actually strong or weak.

Tho in particular hands, there could be tells to put players in strong or weak ones. Caution tho should be taken as tells could also be disguised to convey the opposite. These are traps. “[B]Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak[/B].” -Sun Tzu

Online, betting patterns can be a tell of player tendencies.
In Live,  tells for me are things of the past. In the modern age, people are aware of such thus are now avoided or instead used by "actors".
Such as, when players grab chips & plays with 'em before an action is a sign that the player is ready to make a strong bet or perhaps just "acting" to discourage players from betting. A player that hesitates to bet could be interpreted as discomfort or being uncertain with a weak hand or perhaps just trapping with a strong hand. Lest very familiar with the player on repeated quirks that they just can't shake off.

In most, tells in poker are unreliable. Just play the cards & gut feel!
