Describe two traits of a good scientist

To have a thirst for the truth, even when it contradicts conventional thinking; may be described as curiosity, but integrity is involved, too. They don’t so much try to prove themselves right, but to prove themselves wrong.

One good trait of a scientist is to learn and discover; to truly understand what it is they are learning of, as opposed to learning by rote.

1. Having a vivid imagination
2. Not being afraid to challenge existing theories and explainations of phenomena

Intelligence - More so than ever, with all work already done scientists at the forefront have to work on ever more complex problems

Objectivity - You have to be looking to prove whatever you’re investigating beyond a doubt, even if that means proving your earlier work wrong. It’s got to be about someone getting the right answer in the end, not always being right yourself.

Anybody could be a scientist but, the trait which requires in order to become a good scientist is the ability to do good things and new discoveries which is beneficial to the society.

curiosity intelligence

I think both are pretty self explanatory.

um okay I have the same question for one of my science projects and what I have is that a trait of a scientist depends on the scientist himself or herself, you could just list a few things that the scientist you want to know about has accomplished for example, mendeleev,dimitri, I have periodic table,elements and russian chemist, and theories. because all of these things have to do wit him
