My best characteristic is my intelligence/creativity. I can come up with ideas easily. I'm an artist and my art often only makes sense to a select few. I can understand other peoples art & ideas well, as well as interpreting people. I'm good at knowing alot about someone from a first impression.
My worst quality is probably that i get scared easily. Not of physical things, but rather deadlines, meeting people, starting somewhere new, anything which involves me to be independant really. I just get strung up that bad things will happen and start to avoid things.
So i guess you could say i have a good independance of mind, but i lack self control.
