Best: I've been told I'm a phenomenally good listener.
Worst: A tendency towards procrastination.

My best quality is undoubtedly my ass.
My worst is that I take absolutely nothing seriously.

We may need to have an independent evaluation of that claim . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Worst is I'm hard to domesticate.

My best quality: I'm patient. My worst quality: I'm patient. No, I didn't say I WAS a patient, or need to be a patient, although both may be true.
It's good because patience seems to help me listen. I never get accused of listening to respond. As a teacher, I have no trouble trying to find a dozen different ways to explain things. Patience seems to be tied with empathy - I have learned to be patient with my own faults and foibles, so I have to be patient with the faults of others. (Obvious poes and trolls are usually exempt from this trait. I give 'em a little rope, and when they are idiots, we get to have fun playing whack-a-mole.)
It's bad because I get in trouble a lot for being too patient. I give people too much rope, I give them the benefit of the doubt beyond the point when I should have said "stop!", and then we pay the price. That too patient bit ties in with insecurity, general shyness, and a touch of laziness. All of these things I have to battle.

My best quality is that I do what I can for others, even when I have little or nothing to give.
My worst quality is that I do what I can for others, even when I have little or nothing to give, and I end up getting hurt or taken advantage of.
I really need to stop doing that.

I think my best quality is my optimism. I have a (sometimes annoying) ability to see the positive in people and situations.
My worst quality is my awful, terrible, not easily overcome fear of being intimate and vulnerable in my relationships. I have to do constant work to force myself into situations that make me happy in the long run. My brain is on overdrive running interference constantly.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I feel like lots of my qualities are double-edged swords. I am blunt. If I am upset with how I am being treated, I have had a tendency to let it be known. But I am accomadating when I can be, and even when I can't be at times (which reduces me to doormat status).
I have a better awareness of anger than I used to, though. I need to work on neatness and fashion sense, though. I often dress like a 20-year old (I'm 39 and 364 days).
I also don't get bored too easily. I mean, hey. I'm an atheist. I'm not waiting for Heaven, amirite (no harm meant toward our good Christian friends, though)? Each moment is important.
I had something else, but I forgot (short term memory, there. Is it an LD or is it something that just needs paid attention to?).
ETA: Ah, yes. Living in the moment. I doez it (but I think that was at least implicitly addressed above).
