OpenStudy (leozap1):

Some characteristics geologists use to identify minerals are fracture, luster, streak, density, cleavage and hardness. From the choices given, softness is the one that is not a characteristic.

I know you said not to give out answers but when I see people providing the wrong answer already, it kind of worries me. I would recommend you understand why the streak test is used. Also the colour of a mineral that you see is determined by it's composition (chemical make up) which is why a quick glance of a mineral can be misleading.
