Visualization of the problem that you are trying to solve.

CS
 
If you're on the experimental side, skills in programming, machining, and electronics are useful

Additionally, reading comprehension and being able to follow directions is useful. If you post in the correct forum in the first place, your thread won't be moved.
 
Patience and dedication are pretty essential to be successful in physics.
