Lenka is an unknown quantity at this point
Default quality; (the) most

I read sentence "What qualities do you dislike most?"

and I have two questions :

1) noun "quality" can both mean something bad? I thought it can be connected only with words extoling something... Anyway, it's connected with "dislike" here, which means it can be used both with good and bad things, doesn't it?
Does it mean that e.g. intoleration can be considered a quality?

2) What qualities do you dislike most. < why not "THE MOST"? Is "most" used with the article only when speaking of an adjective?
