What trait do you value the most in others?
I am curious as to what trait we value in others the most. The poll is anonymous so be honest.

I should have left room for "other" in the poll. Can a mod change the choice "a loving attitude" to "other", please?

Sense of humour. Or else how would the Americans I know tolerate my extraneous U's?

Good idea for a thread.

I would have liked multiple choice, though.

Thanks Jack. I almost made it multiple choice but knew that people would choose a bunch at once. I kinda want people to really stop and think about what each trait means and the possible pros and cons of choosing one as the most valued. For instance....intelligence could be valued the most...but you could argue that there are plenty of intelligent people who have brought more harm than good to the world so while its a good trait to have, is it really the most important to you? (or whoever chooses it)

by the way...I pm'ed Laura and asked her to change "a loving attitude" to "other". I figure the kindness to others option is similar in theory so we dont need both.

That's why I haven't voted yet....I see many there that have considerable value and it's difficult to just pick one.
But I will eventually make a decision

I almost feel bad for having been able to make that decision so easily.

All are valuable -- but above all else, I value honesty.

dont get me wrong...all traits are good to have. Some more than others, imo. A sense of humor is a good thing to get you through life! It certainly keeps life interesting, doesnt it!
