Like I said, a lot of assumptions are being made here. Many of these have various common and easily brought up examples of how they're not necessarily an indication of the quality you're trying to sift for. By bringing a list of these not-really-indicating qualities there is going to be such a significant category of false positives that it may just look as if one is so eager to judge other lifestyles that they forget to perform basic critical thinking abd empathy.

Instead of attempting to brush off a wide range of people with very common and easily explained life qualities, why not assume people generally have reasons for the situations they're in? If there is a personality trait you dislike, one can practice observant behavior to analyze how the trait manifests in an individual and move on from there on how to deal with that individual. Trying to assume all individuals with a trait are the majority of people who may be in certain circumstances in life just seems like poor logic.
