Think of the last time you had to politely describe a person you didn’t quite get along with.

None of the traits you named were 100% positive, but none were negative, either.

The best word to describe them would be “neutral.”

You like to think your delivery was neutral, too, but it probably wasn’t. (It’s hard to hide those feelings.)
