"His sense of humour is one of his better traits." Implies...

His sense of humour is one of his better traits.

What do you think this sentence implies? I think the word 'better' implies that he has a lot of bad traits and humour is one of the few better traits of him. Am I right?

Thank you.

Best wishes,

PBF

Hello PBF!:)

I'm curious about this aswell, I thought that "better" meant that the person has lots of good traits, all the contrary to what you think. My teacher, while talking, he used that word but I forgo
