I'd like to add to this list an essential skill for most analysts, which is the ability to facilitate groups.

Most business analyst activities require the input of groups, principally through team meetings and workshops. An effective business analyst has or develops good group facilitation skills. The larger the project, the more likely an analyst will need to lead a group, or retain one for his/her meetings and workshops. Whether the need is a project charter, a project strategy, requirements gathering, or data modeling, inputs and decisions by groups are involved.

Inasmuch as facilitation is a life skill, a solid training program and regular practical experience are essential.

Well to add on to the list, Most of the BA's work for certain specific industry and hence the domain understanding of that industry is certainly very helpful. To understand the business processes and the industry specific jargons used, the BA is expected to have the Industry know-how

Also, the BA is expected to have a techno functional role where he is expected to understand the business equally good as he understands the technology of how the requirment is gonna be structured in the system. The BA should be proficent enough to seperate the Business requirements with the System requirements during the requirement elicitation.
