What are some qualities that are desirable in a scientist?

Answer 1

Scientists must be curious, very observant, careful, and hardworking. They must be willing to work with others and to take criticism gracefully, and be open to changing their minds when others gather new information. Science involves asking questions, developing hypotheses, designing and conducting studies and experiments, collecting and analyzing the data and writing up the findings. Then you do it all over again, because good research always produces more questions!
