Personal Attributes: What are they?

Personal attributes are qualities or characteristics of yourself as an individual. They differ from skills in that they tend to be inherent (belonging to you as a person) as opposed to being something which you might acquire over time. For instance, you may be naturally 'creative' (i.e. it is a quality that you possess but have not trained). As such it is difficult to develop your personal attributes though training courses may offer you the opportunity to enhance the quality or attribute in question.
