A few notes my results here from the brief survey:
- Leadership is my #1? I am really the most likely person to pass off making a decision unless being paid.
- Humility/Modesty is pretty damn high on the list, especially in comparison to gratitude. I've spent my life trying to differentiate.
- I'm way too lazy to hold a grudge as long as #23.
- I'm not very nice of a person.
- And I am a coward. Nor happy/funny. Go me.
