Hi Kanyunyuzi, warm greetings from Brunei. To me, a good researcher is one who maintain integrity of the research at all times, right from the preparation, conduct and dissemination of research findings.
Conducting research professionally is achieved by respecting the participants/data, balancing the benefits and risks of the study, and practicing ethical justice. Most importantly, research is not only about the science, but ethical aspects of the research.

And in addition to what the others have mentioned, I would add, reading widely. Reading even the negative aspects/side to your broad research topic. Reading the views of others as it relates to your topic helps you to think critically/objectively.
To be a good researcher first requires the intention to be involved in research and directly thereafter to see a dedicated interest to do the best research likely. From there we must collect the knowledge needed to credit the current ideas already existent in the research world.
There is no good description of a good researcher. Once you start with the guidance of your Supervisors, you may surprise yourself. I advice that you put the fear away and hit the road. You will never know that you are a good researcher until you complete one.
