Most people would agree that there is a single set of characteristics shared by great scientists. this is easily learned by reading the biographies of the various great scientists. many of them were not interested in science when they were children. not all of them did well in school. probably the most important characteristic shared by them is a natural curiosity about how things work. also, they were not afraid to challenge current theories. creativity, drive, motivation, and persistence are also important characteristics of great scientists. however, they had to be fuly developed and made use of in a direction that solved scientific problems.
