Tell me more about this subset you wouldn't like to work with.

I do not want to work with people who are obnoxious, mentally unstable, love stirring drama, self centered, controlling, etc.

These attributes can make it hard to work with others, or waste time that could have been spent actually building a good product for end users. Of course people are not robots, they have emotions and attitudes that are variable so some people will exhibit these qualities some of the time, but I believe it's important to build a culture that can withstand these rather than amplify them.
