Mine is some combination of "Is willing to poke at things he doesn't know about until he fixes them" and "has a lot of empathy for users".

TBH I think I'm better at the former, but I think the latter is more important. Having user empathy helps guide you in making decisions, it helps make boring bits more engaging, and it makes it so much better when you fix a bug and a user is happy about it.
