Personal Qualities

Below is a list of personal qualities for you to review when completing your assignment. While the list is comprised of affirming qualities and virtues, you may decide to use qualities that denote areas of weakness or vices. After all, no human being is perfect. For example, you may perceive yourself as being impatient rather than patient or distractible instead of attentive. Remember the qualities you select need to reflect the real YOU.
