The most important tool for any scientist is curiosity and the desire to know. Without this, the scientist is a mere lab technician. The second most important tool for any scientist is patience. The media love to portray scientists being struck by inspiration and having a eureka moment, but even the most inspired scientist has spent long hours in thought and research preparing her mind for that eureka flash of insight.

What are the scientific traits or attitudes of good scientist?

This is not a complete list by any means but: -A scientist must be completely unbiased. He must be able to recognize his emotions and stop them from influencing his work. -Must be able to interrogate nature. Form multiple hypotheses and perform rigorous tests until all variables are isolated. -A scientist should have an endless supply of tools and processes he can use to find information. A good scientist will know which ones to apply and when. -If there is even one out of 10000 tests that disproves a theory, the theory must be discarded. Those are some important things to keep in mind but a good scientist would have many more codes and rules to follow in his work.
