Strange question, but I think "good" is a judgement. There are good choices and bad choices but they may differ from one person to the next. I will strive for the Biblical fruits of the Spirit for myself. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control.

Emotional intelligence and integrity

Emotional to ensure self awareness and emotional control/management; if all behaviours are fuelled by emotions, then emotional management regulates one's behaviour,

Integrity ensures self assertiveness and genuineness in all circumstances

This is a simple but complex. However my view is that for any individual to be good, they need to have a deep sense of personal awareness so that they can relate well with others and secondly, to have a high sense of appreciation so as to appreciate others just as they are. This makes other people trust and are likely to be genuine when interacting with you.

I think the question is excellent. And the responses of our peers above certainly reflect a variety of cultural, philosophical, religious and even psychological assumptions. Could it be that our snapshots of the Truth are relative?

precisely, there could be a high relativity to our snapshots of Truth; great minds think alike! However, the common ground of being humane surpasses our differences in philosophy, religion, even pyschological assumptions. Our diversity can be harmonised by our humanity element...

The significant qualities could be boldness, sincerity, hard work and patience to become good individual.

Regarding the relativity of our views of Truth, one would hope that we could choose to be humane beings, and thus transcend our small viewpoints. Yes! makes sense.

Thanks to Michael Uebel, Daria Mann, Siyabonga Mabuza, Loice Noo Okello and Russell James Meyerhofer for providing excellent answers to the question. I would like to invite more and more answers on this question.

A good and pleasant mind, exploring the ideas and talent of people around, being amicable, helpful and free for the people to approach are the qualities to become good individual.

You are a Good Person until you do something Bad. Not the other way

around.

Honesty, empathy, and contentment is what one should have to be a good human; however, you would become a saint if you try to be so, and the world sure would ridicule to you. As a person, you can never be unanimously called a good man.
