Are exterior walls load bearing?

Depends on where it is. If it is the center wall that runs down the middle of the house under the peak of the roof, then yes. Usually the ceiling joist are lapped on top of this wall.

Broad, general rule of thumb is any wall running the same direction as the main peak of the roof probably is a bearing wall.
