Somewhat in orderly fashion. I'm not fully solid on best/worst; so here's some general-level.
-I'm rather dependable when the time calls for it. Usually available, and versatile (generally, a Swiss-army knife type of usefulness)
-I'm not easily scared by conventional things everyone else is generally scared of. (from zombies to elder gods and even aliens and UFOs and the supernatural in general)
-I'm generally a nice guy to a fault.
-Determinator, full-stop. Once I got my mind on something, and I put my all into it, you'll either come out in awe, or terror after I'm done.
-Brilliant mind, able to come up with some rather interesting ideas, and even make of some of them work. (best personal statement regarding that: "There's always a simple solution to an otherwise complex problem." :MacGuyver theme inexplicably starts playing:)
-Ludicrously patient
-Surprisingly open-minded to many things (developed an interest in anime when I ran out of good material in previous fields (Sci-fi and the like), for example). Flexible skill-wise.
-I'm a bit of an over-the-top screwball in certain cases.
-I'm not a fan of some of my more positive traits due to their exploitability. In turn, it makes me rather paranoid how exploitable I can get.
-I tend to go over my head in the bravery department to daredevil levels. Such overconfidence tends to mistranslate into arrogance.
-So much of a nice guy, that it is in itself a fault. In summary: being a good person sucks. That, or this world/reality isn't that fond of goodness in general. Ironically, one of my best traits is one of my worst traits, making a rather lonely existence. In summary, expect opposite results from what would be heard of about me. As appealing I may seem, I really am not, according to reality (way to knock my self-esteem around, huh?). For example: I've been told I would be fighting women off of me according to the words of many; ...about that... It's pretty damn barren around me. I can't tell if that statement was serious or not.
-Due to my Determinator nature/implacability, I tend to get rather terrifying rather swiftly once I actually get pissed off, and FINALLY take some action. Just as well, I tend to get a surge of ego as a result. I've gotten better at keeping that under control, at least.
-I tend to also be rather cripplingly lazy (See: Brilliant but Lazy trope). So much so, that I tend to put things on the back-burner until it's close to deadline. Fortunately, I know how to work this to my advantage with freelancing, so the client doesn't notice how little work I actually needed to do. Of course, the only time I really do set other jobs on the back-burner is when I'm stacking work to have a full work week.
+On the side, my laziness does at least serve as it's own perk there, though. It amplifies my efficiency, due to taking in the hassle so I don't have to deal with it later, making the final rush an "On the way" kind of task, instead of an all-nighter deal. Basically a weekly wrap-up kind of deal.
-My level of patience and such has made people paranoid of just how far ahead I plan my moves (I've been regarded as supervillain-smart by many; with a few acknowledging I also keep Evil Overlord Tips in mind while at it (so +common sense with super-villainy)), or just how easy I might be taking it on someone, relative to when I actually put some effort into something (essentially, I have my reasons why I don't actively fight. More due to the fact I might accidentally deliver a fatal blow first-shot. That, and I also prefer screwing with offending parties passively and mentally; it's more fun.).
-Such wandering interests and open-mindedness paints one hell of a target on my back for the closed-minded types to hassle me (e.g.- bullying/general trolling/or even a vicious organized internet attack on my name).
+Fortunately, Implacable/Determinator, and patience still comes to play, and I can fight back with minimal effort, and humiliate my offenders as the victim (IE- Being the pathetic basement-dweller weeaboo turning into Kieyser Soze right before their eyes (witnessing an expression of "Oh crap!" is always satisfying from that perspective. So to speak, I let myself get attacked before I strike. Having been a prime target to bullying for a good 2 decades not only hardened me to this bullcrap, it also made me vicious in how I deal with them, be they targeting me, or some other poor sod. If I'm around, and I know what you're up to, may God show you mercy, because I sure as Hell won't.)). Even being wailed on (mostly blows to the head during a head-lock (I counted between 20-25 full-power punches total the whole scuffle. Only visible bruising was on spots they missed their target, and hit my arms instead; my head didn't have any visible marks despite the beatdown.) from a seemingly unstoppable rage by a drunk because they misinterpreted what I was saying) isn't enough to keep me down (started with a sucker-punch even, and that didn't even knock me out). Hell, my lack of fighting back, and even talking down my attacker before the bouncers intervened scared them and everyone in the immediate vicinity in how much I can take without needing/wanting to fight back. A co-worker that witnessed that and me casually drinking (about 8oz of Jagermeister in a single shot) not long after called me a badass directly to me. Mind you, this was also after pushing myself off the attacker without any help breaking up the fight from anyone else surrounding the whole battle. You see why I don't fight back now? If I can absorb that much brutality, imagine what I can deliver on my own?
-I tend to be so much of a screwball, I become rather unintelligible, or outright insane. However, despite my insanity, I don't yield in my overall execution, depending on what's going on. Some things may appear silly at first glance, but becomes serious business to deal with once I'm done being silly. Summary: Bunny-Ears Lawyer/Crazy Awesome is a defining trope for me. In itself, it also makes me rather intimidating to deal with under any circumstance. My uncertainty on some of these factors makes me a tad socially awkward, but more due to the fact that I'm not the most socially experienced person around.
...Oh yeah, and I tend to procrastinate because my interests tend to drift or oscillate. In other words, I am good with keeping myself committed to a task, provided it retains my interest. In other cases, I exploit/utilize my procrastination behavior to get other things done; even if it seems non-sequiter to the main goal at hand. some of these procrastinations actually tends to aid in the main goal. See me dabble in Excel for a bit, and next thing you know, my freelancing just got a major boost of efficiency, due to the fact I can accurately measure how much actual work can be done with it, and it's estimated payoff total and by the hour; stacking it on top of my financial records to plan my financial goals for the next 3-12 months in advance.
EDIT:
Good:
-I am rather descriptive and as exact as I can get, even to best-guess levels. I prefer speaking in context, rather than in content.
Bad:
-I get a bit wordy (I had to resort to using spoilers). I tend to clarify my clarifications. Let's just say, I hate when people try to corrupt my statements intentionally (for more sinister reasons), which is why I'm so descriptive and context-sensitive. Unfortunate side-effect: English is my native tongue, and I tend to break my language (sounding like I'm new to it, or lower-class, at least) at times because of my context-sensitive nature. That, or it over-compensates for my descriptiveness. Until I got better at it overall (generally giving less a crap, due to observed stupidity on average, and my laziness meeting up halfway with each other), it resulted in a whole lot of stuttering, verbal tics, and social awkwardness in my overall speech pattern.
