[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of the responses ("kind", "doesn't gossip", and so on) are important characteristics in a good person, but I don't think that every "good person" I know is what I'd call a "functional, well adjusted adult", which is what the OP is asking about.  I have known a few genuinely kind people who are train wrecks in important ways.

I'm not sure what the answer is, but I'd expect for a well adjusted, functional adult to ALSO be able to put together some semblance of an adult life.  They should be able to create and maintain relationships, manage their bills, manage long and short term goals, they should be able to work through setbacks, and they shouldn't have Peter Pan syndrome, they should be able to make appointments and keep them.  In other words, a functional, well adjusted adult actively builds and manages their life.

IME, when a person cannot really manage themselves, it points to emotional issues that might be brewing under the surface.

A functional, well-adjusted adult has their sh*t together.[/quote]
