"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, KJV).
"He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8)
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone" (Matthew 23:23, NKJV).
So,... Obedience, faithfulness, mercy, justice, humility.
"But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 1:5-8, NKJV).

Since God created man in His own image then I he would be looking for someone just like Him.

God don't have a list of good people to pick one of them to make his a prophet ,saint ,etc..,people are assigned as they will be in future even before Adam was created
eg:if a man is rich that's because God made him to be rich
1-if he worked as a thief he will be rich but he committed sin of theft
2-if he worked hard (eg:Bill Gates)he will also be rich and he didn't commit sin of theft
and when he is rich,the money he spend is what will be spend from his fortune but he may
1-spend it in good deeds (eg:Bill Gates)
2-spend it in bribes and so
in brief what will happen will happen but we are working how to make it ,make it good and go to heaven or make it bad and go to heaven ,God don't choose us for things,its our destiny

If God is all powerful can't he just put the qualities there?
Sorry to answer your question with a question but it only makes sense.

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

People who show an appreciation for life and the arts who practice tolerance and compassion. You don't need to learn how to juggle to be a part of God's circus.

20Looking at his disciples, he said:
"Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
22Blessed are you when men hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.
23"Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets.
He is looking for those who will serve Him gladly.
