To me the greatest characteristic of a great learner is that 'great learners help other people.' I've been watching a documentary on a football team camp. In the camp there is a fierce battle for the starting position of a Defensive Back. There is a rookie and a veteran in the running for this position. The thing that makes this story so great is that even though it is the veteran's job at stake, he still encourages and teaches the rookie how to best play the position.
Two of the greatest characteristics of teaching are service and love. Through helping others in the conquest of learning and we are giving service, and when we give service we love. Elder Eyring put it best when he said "Because of that you will find that the best learners make the best company." The reason? Because of their love and service.
