When you come to know people, what things about them cause you to come to respect them? What, personally, do you admire in people?

For me, a big one is a good work ethic. If people take things seriously and to care about what they do... I respect that.

Another thing is when people are able to reassess their understandings and come to new conclusions. It's truly a rare thing to see in this day and age, and when I see people actually challenging themselves... I have to respect that, too. Even if I don't always agree with the conclusions they draw. :)

Honesty and integrity.

ETA: I reading some of the responses here, I think some are conflating respect with admiration. I can respect someone without liking them. Although there are many other traits I could list that are conducive with admiration, that's not what you asked here.
