That's the most basic one... survival instinct.
That being said, watching survival shows would be a good one to add to the list, it does instill a survival sense within you.

The most important thing you need is common sense. Many people don't have much and that would just lead to failure. You need foraging and hunting/trapping skills to eat, first aid, clean water(or way to purify it), way to make fire, and a good knife. Beyond that you could make use of More stuff than you could ever carry so you need to pack light and have knowledge of the area you are in. Those are all things that you could carry on any hiking trip that could save your life in an emergency.

it's not that black and white. someone who's watched a lot of survival shows will have more more knowledge and more of a motivating awareness when put in a survival situation. that would potentially make them more of a survivor than if they didn't have any knowledge at all. knowledge = power, and don't think that just because it's a TV show no knowledge can be gained. Bear Grylls, Survivorman, Dual Survival, lots of good lessons in those shows.
i may not be much of a survivor but i'd last longer out in the woods than this dude

You should have:
1.Knife 2.Compass 3.First aid stuff 4.Tarp/tent 5.Fire Starters (Flint/Steele/Magnifying glass)
You should know:
1.How to make snares/traps for small game. 2.How to forage for food (tubers, roots, plants, mushrooms, berries), know what's in season, in your area, and not going to kill you. 3.How to start a fire, you can use fire to purify water to cook/drink, and staying hydrated is important. 4.How to make a shelter without a tarp/tent in case the one you might have is destroyed. 5.How to respond to emergency situation.
