What is the scientific attitude and what attitudes and characteristics define a good scientist?

]
1. A scientist must be curious about the world
- Galileo Galilei's curiosity about the heavenly bodies made
him the first person to use a telescope to study the
moon, the sun, the planets and the stars.
2. A scientist is logical and systematic
- Among the reasons why Gregor Mendel discovered the
principles of heredity when others have failed was his logical experimental methods and his careful and accurate record keeping.
3. A scientist is open-minded
- An open-minded person is one who can modify plans
or discard hypotheses if necessary. One such person was Johannes Kepler who was hired to develop evidence that planets moved along perfect circles.
4. A scientist is intelectually honest
- Isaac Newton built his laws of motion on the previous
work of Galileo and others.
5. A scientist works hard and is persistent
- Marie Curie was the first person ever to be awarded the
Nobel Prize twice. It was not surprising considering how
hard she worked.
6. A scientist does not jump to conclusions
- John Dalton's atomic theory was backed by experimental
evidence. He was not the first to propose that the atom
was the smallest particle of matter, but he was the
first to use experimental evidence to support his theory.
7. A scientist is a creative and critical thinker
- Albert Einstein was able to derive his theory of relativity
because he went beyond what was given and known at
that time. He saw links and connections where others did not. He looked at things from different perspectives.
8. A scientist is rational
9. A scientist is willing to suspend judgment until he is sure of his results
10.A scientist tries new approaches to arrive at solutions
