Curiosity killed the cat, but made the tester

Recently a friend of mine lost his job in software development. I offered him the possibility of submitting his curriculum vitae to see if he could fit in Sogeti as a tester. He asked me a really good question: Do I have what is needed to be a good tester?

Sometimes I hear people, especially from the development team, saying that anyone can be a good tester. Of course, I have to strongly disagree. Everyone can sing, but not everyone can be Madonna. So, what characteristics must a person have to be an ideal tester?...
