As Ron said, an attribute is something that describes someone.
Tallness, smallness, deepness, darkness, etc. would all be noun attributes.
Abstract nouns that are in the area of concepts/ideas would be freedom, liberty, justice, equality, art, etc.
Qualities would be strength, beauty, poise, stamina, etc.
Conditions would be sanity, poverty, health, etc.
