By characterisics i assume you mean personality qualtiies? None. The holy spirit is part of God. God does not choose who he loves depending on whether they are confident, happy, shy, genourous, sad, bouncy etc - the holy spirit comes upon you when you pray or read The Bible or worship or sing worship songs. Whatever you are doing that glorifies God - the holy spirit may come upon you. People react in different ways. Some people speak in tounges, others shake, cry, faint, whatever. It is amazing and happens to anyone. So no, you don't need any special characteristics
