    A: First of all of the choices provided Integrity was the closest. I actually think Thoughtfulness and Rationality would be characteristics I would choose first.

    A: All the other traits could be argued as being important, but none of them matter without integrity because the talents & expertise of other traits are rendered void if one can be corrupted & swayed from the right course of action.
