Human attributes for alien contact (self.asklemmy)

Lets say you get abducted by aliens.

They inform you that they want to make contact with human individuals, not the entire humanity. They have a limited telepathy and can "scan" for human mental traits like spiritualistic / non-spiritualistic, artistic / non-artistic, introverted / extroverted, anxious / chill, low / med / high IQ, technology oriented, business savvy, mathematically gifted, socially gifted, scientific, etc.

They want you to define traits that would make encounters go smoothly and be representative of humans.

Without knowing anything about those aliens or their interests. What is your answer?

You're probably joking, but this is where I landed. We're no where near ready to join a galactic community.

South Park already showed how woefully unprepared ir unfit we are for galactic community and its voluminous space cash
