What is the most important skill in a software tester?

Is it something you learn? or something your are?

I believe testing is an art more than a skill. it is in the blood. it is a way of thinking that distinguishes the tester.

Attention on details. You need to have a details thinking on everything. How can this app fail rather than how to make it work. Developer will think on how to make it work, but as a tester, you need to have a mindset on how can this app/function break or not working.
