One that should be discussed, but I have never heard is COURAGE.

What does that mean? Here's a quick sample:

Having the courage to make the tough call.
Calls in the last few minutes of a game,
and especially calls that are correct, but other refs don't normally make,
the willingness to call an intentional foul,
the willingness to T a coach or player.
Not allowing unsporting behavior to go unpunished, not allowing a coach to intimidate and get a call for his team by yelling at the officials.
Making the calls for which the fans boo.
