I would do a poll but that won't work for the ordering.
For me it's 1) Not being a douche. 2) Honesty 3) At least reasonable intelligence 4) Not having an overly short-temper that gets pissed off over literally fuck-all all the bloody time making it really hard for me to ever actually relax in your company. 5) A good sense of humor. 6) Quirkiness 7) Inner beauty 8) Outer beauty 9) Not calling me a liar 10) Not telling me I'm making "excuses".
That's all I can think of right now. I guess many qualities wouldn't make the list. I could add to them later.

Breathing helps. Humans who don't breath have a tendency to not live.
Non violent. Non violent humans don't hurt others.
Other than that, the less superstitious the better.

1)Kindness (they don't have to be nice all the time) 2)Genuineness 3)Warmth 4)You could call it humility, but more not taking yourself too seriously. 5)Intelligence, particularly artistic intelligence. 6) That they show interest in me. This could actually be number 1 but I leave it here for now. 7) It doesn't hurt if they're good looking

A pulse. That pretty much comes first. Everything else is optional.

I like people who practice a prudent person concept (not just professionally). I like the type of people who have common sense and have a skill of being reasonable and well balanced depending on the situation. People like this can seem fluid in personality, but really they’re just being prudent. This doesn’t mean they’re not angry at times, bitchy, or very excited. It just means that when the situation calls for it, they can adjust accordingly. I enjoy watching them become necessary in the moderation of situations in which people seek their guidance, sometimes unknowingly. People like this tend to have the quality of wisdom and control of their temper.

1. General competence.
2. Lack of whinging.
3. Fairness.

There are multiple forms of intelligence, and as it is high up on list I will also sub divide them:
1) Deep thinking 2) Moral intelligence 3) Creative/artistic intelligence 4) Logical intelligence 5) Emotional intelligence 6) Social intelligence
Let me know if I missed any.

In what setting?
If I'm playing basketball with them, I'd say someone who passes the ball, and gets back on defense. I wouldn't care if they beat their spouse.
If I'm marrying them, not beating their spouse would be much higher on the list than transition defense.
