What traits do you most respect in people, and why?
I'm going on a big self-improvement kick, ala Benjamin Franklin's "Life of Virtue" experiment.
What traits do you all think leads to a person of high quality/someone you'd respect/a better person?

Oddly enough, what I respect MOST is what you're doing . . . the willingness to look unflinchingly at who and what you are, to recognize weaknesses or traits that don't support your "goal self" and to CHANGE. I have written bunches of what I call "gems of wisdom" (yeah, I know, it's a little smug, but what the hell). One of them goes like this: Your belief in a principle may comfort you, but your defense of a principle defines you.

Animal lovers score big points with me. For some reason, i tend to stay away from people who are high maintenance with appearance. I think a good characteristic is not judging people. Everyone has has a different story, and i try not to judge. Good drivers score high with me too.

For me the greatest trait in any individual is wisdom. When a person is truely wise they seem to be imbued with all other positive qualities.

I believe that honor, honesty, and loyalty are very important. They help society function better and can inspire others. These qualities make for a strong, admirable, respectable person. Humility and generosity in abundance are qualities I think should be avoided like the plague. Humility makes a person weak and subservient, and too much generosity creates dependence and contributes to the weakness of others.
