Don't be an asshole. It's that simple.
Whoopsie!
@Blindbird Everyone is capable of being an asshole sometimes. But no one should be going out there way to be an asshole and especially not all the time. That's all I'm saying.
@ReBrew2115 but...it's kind of fun.
The ability to be empathetic, compassionate, honest, and humble.
Exceptional: integrity, curiosity, compassion (don't we begin to devolve from here?)

Mediocre: _, ___, ____
Impoverished: ____, ,
Interesting question. I guess you would have to be really clear on what you mean by a “good person”. For me I attribute that to someone who is very self-aware and who is mostly outward facing. That is their thoughts and activities are mainly focused on the well-being of others.
That's the reason I put good in quotations, because good and bad are subjective. I'm interested in others opinions on what qualifies as good.
I don't care which traits you display. you must do good.
Open minded, rational and compassionate . Those would be good for starters.
positive outlook , honest and forthright , compassionate, helpful
Their name begins with S and ends in N ...lol
Simon? Susan? Shannon? Shawn? lol
My answer - see how they operate under stress. Under those conditions, people can fall apart. Does that make them a "bad" person? I don't think so. We all have our breaking points and thresholds. But if someone under stress maintains grace under fire, then I would nominate that person as "good". If for no other reason that they are good for everyone else around them.
Good is a subjective term. I prefer to see the world as objectively as possible. There are no good/bad people. There are just people, and those people react to their enviroment. some have learned to do it in a "positive" (term used loosely) way, others have not. Good is defined by the individual and the society/enviroment they have been subjected to.
Precisely why I used quotations.
A tasteful business card, a well managed VHS rental account, and the ability to get a table in a good restaraunt at short notice.
Very creative answer. ??
@CM1965 thank you
Humanism & optimism. If one can honestly say, like Will Rogers, "I never met a (hu)man I didn't like" that a bout covers it.
Someone kind, compassionate, responsible.
I watched The Intern on Netflix last night, and Robert de Niro played the sort of person I would actually marry..he was all those things I listed, but also witty, intelligent, and debonair..at 74 years old.
