Good character traits/behaviours to have if you're going to take on one of these kits

[narly1]

As follow-on to Frank's post about being able to read (as in reading the manual, LOL), I thought this topic might make for an equally fun and informative thread.

As you all add your input I'll edit this initial post to include them.

I'll start:

- positivity, sense of humor, resilience
- organized, focused, decisiveness
- resourcefulness
- patience
- creativity
- courageousness (to try new things), self-confidence
- self awareness (of one's own abilities)
- humility (the ability to ask for help when needed)
- inquisitiveness, curiosity
- hands on (built not bought mentality)
- problem solver/troubleshooter
- resolve, tenaciousness, perseverance, strong-willed, results-oriented
- being pragmatic, sensible, reasonable (these cars are not perfect, especially in the bodywork department)
- self assuredness; some capacity to disregard (unconstructive) criticism or differing opinion (i.e. the understanding that you're building to suit yourself and nobody else)
- careful, safety-conscious
