Loyal.
But then again, I don't have to care about a job anymore. I liked loyal because it gave the employer more to work with regardless of skill level. Loyal people tend to stay on task and keep an eye out for the health of the organization. Dedication doesn't come up to the same level as loyal. An absence of loyalty is likely the hardest thing to fix because so many things that beget it are intangible.

Unique. Not in a one in a million candidate unique. Unique like I will wear a kilt to work and crawl under a desk unique... Sleep in fear. Sleep in fear.
I work in IT. IT people are supposed to be wyrd compared to your regular cubicle jockeys. We have to deal with everything from real issues to "Did you turn it on?" issues. A sense of humor is a requirement and a survival skill. It is almost like the off color humor experienced in the military.

I think this answer would depend on the type of job it is AND the type of questions that they have asked during the interview... If they are focused on your reliability - they've had issues in that area - SO "reliable". If they are looking for someone that is a creative thinker, then maybe "creative". You can always tell by the job description, the conversation in the interview and NO this would not be the first question they ask. I've be part of the interview process many times. SO - - - my answer would be it depends because I have many qualities and if I want to position bad enough I will try and tell them what they want to hear!

Willing. I can make no guarantees I will be able to accomplish every single task thrown at me but I'll be damned if I don't at least put forth the effort to try.

accountability- not to be strict, though whether it's adhering to or using sop's, while/not being watched- representing the company, line of communication for self and others through appropriate channels.
