5. Empathy.
I think a lot of other good qualities stem from empathy.

14. ditto
I think it's the ability to epathize with a person without necessarily ITENTIFYING with them. Especially when they are in emotional or physical pain - you don't have to know them but you can still "feel their pain". It sounds like a cliche but I think it's true.

9. They must be a musician.
I've found musicians to be above reproach. ;)
