Answer:
A good/great researcher will be open to explore various explanations for the phenomena being studied. They must be willing to step to the edge and push through their boundaries of comfort and security. They need to be innately curious about how what they study affects its surroundings (remember the whole and not just a part of the whole). They must be willing to take some risk of failure and/or rejection and follow that hunch or gut feeling they have about something. They must be willing to explain and teach others about what they do otherwise research is meaningless without application and dissemination.
