If they are not vengeful

Kindness. Empathy.

My philosophy-majoring Brother-in-law suggests that 'virtue is known by the actions of the virtuous'. Good luck!

Don't be an asshole. It's that simple.

Wow! a lot of ideas:

Sugar & spice and everything nice.

The ability to be empathetic, compassionate, honest, and humble.

It's all in their respect quotient of others and themselves..

Exceptional: integrity, curiosity, compassion (don't we begin to devolve from here?)
Good: intelligent, responsible, accountable,
Mediocre: _, ___, ____
Impoverished: ____, ,

Reason and kindess sums it up for me.

Altruism goes hand in hand with the above.

Interesting question. I guess you would have to be really clear on what you mean by a “good person”. For me I attribute that to someone who is very self-aware and who is mostly outward facing. That is their thoughts and activities are mainly focused on the well-being of others.

I think the ability to empathize with someone who is fundamentally different than you is most important. Once you can do that you drop judgements and just help people.

Compassion, generosity, a desire to make the world a better place.

I don't care which traits you display. you must do good.

Open minded, rational and compassionate . Those would be good for starters.

positive outlook , honest and forthright , compassionate, helpful

Their name begins with S and ends in N ...lol

Honesty, respect and willing to be wrong.

My answer - see how they operate under stress. Under those conditions, people can fall apart. Does that make them a "bad" person? I don't think so. We all have our breaking points and thresholds. But if someone under stress maintains grace under fire, then I would nominate that person as "good". If for no other reason that they are good for everyone else around them.

I don't think there is single or simple answer to it. It's relative as the term good is relative

Good is a subjective term. I prefer to see the world as objectively as possible. There are no good/bad people. There are just people, and those people react to their enviroment. some have learned to do it in a "positive" (term used loosely) way, others have not. Good is defined by the individual and the society/enviroment they have been subjected to.

kindness to animals, laugh at themselves, honest, empathy, how do they treat those in society that have a disability or can't stand up for themselves. integrity, respect for the environment, to name a few

A tasteful business card, a well managed VHS rental account, and the ability to get a table in a good restaraunt at short notice.

Being the lone person to stand up against something.

Humanism & optimism. If one can honestly say, like Will Rogers, "I never met a (hu)man I didn't like" that a bout covers it.

Compassion, honesty, and a sense of humor are important to me. I watch how someone treats others, more than how they treat me.
