The way they got these ratings seems pretty ridiculous. You can see the questionnaire in the third attachment to the study https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jopy.12514 . They took eight traits and seemingly completely made up what a percentile breakdown for each would look like, then asked people to choose percentiles for each adding up to a certain amount in total. If you look at what the 50th percentile for each category adds up to, presumably the most average person, they:
-(Physical attractiveness): Are pleasant-looking with nice features
-(Financial prospects): Can pay all costs of living plus provide a disposable income
-(Creativity): Can write poetry or play music
-(Kindness): Are usually helpful to close friends
-(Humor): Can tell a few good jokes
-(Religiosity): Attend mandatory services and some non-mandatory services
-(Chastity): Are "somewhat hesitant" to have sex outside your relationship
-(Wants children): Want an "average number of children"
I mean, if you ask people to compare kindness to whether someone wants the most children and has memorized jokes...yeah, they're going to say kindness is better.
