First thing is to define what "good" mean due to is somthing subjetive that must be defined into a context to make it objective one.

It seems that you have a long list of those qualities, however, a good pm is the person who can manage the project and achieve all deliverables and products as planned (time, scope, quality, cost, etc.)

A good PM has to be a good communicator and a good leader. Communication can be learned, as can leadership SKILLS, but leadership on a whole is often innate.
