• Learn to look for the unobvious
• Learn to be persistent. Tough bugs are sometimes hard to reproduce. Try, try, try until you get it.
• Learn to be polite. You will need this skill when reporting bugs
• Learn to think out of the box
• Learn to be devious. (Dr. Hevners favorite quote!) True, after all you are here to break software :-). 

Finally, no package is complete without the attractive wrapping. :) True, every profession needs effective people skills and a software tester needs it more than anybody else! Imagine telling a developer his brainchild, his hours of work, his code is faulty. The main point to note here is that man is a social animal and team work really works!
