While I am sure that some sociological discussion of scientists has led someone to produce a list of traits or skills that a scientist must have, there is certainly no fixed and reliable list where you can enumerate skills.

There is perhaps one skill that would be broadly agreed upon and that is a skill in critical thinking. By critical thinking, one means essentially being sure of what you know and being able to put together the reliable implications of what you know, while recognizing that there are potentially relevant factors that you may not know.

Wikipedia has a nice entry on critical thinking.

And, one last comment, critical thinking may be required of a scientist but it is not limited to scientists. Presumably this is a valuable skill for anyone.

What skill would you like to develop?

Answer It's not so much the skills that I want to develope, but it's the skills that you want to develope. You have to ask yourself what it is that you want in a job and go for it. I can tell you that I'd like to be able to fly a plane, but with a heart condition, I don't think they will take me. Things like that help us to determine what we can do and what we can't do and from there we develope the skills necessary to do the job that we have choosen.

Why are skills and qualities important for a job?

Skills and qualities are important for a job because, without the necessary skills a person will not be able to perform a certain job efficiently. A good quality to have on the job has to do with being on time and ready for work. Specific jobs might need intensive training, like a construction crane operator's job.
