I asked my previous PI if he could tell me anything about the LOR he wrote for me. He responded with this:
"I really couldn't assess your academic abilities since you've never
taken a class from me or did any independent research. Mainly I just
focused on your participation in the project we did last year, the
tasks you performed, your dedication to the work, your ability to
work independently, diligently and meticulously. I also talked
briefly about your personal qualities and interactions with the lab
(i.e., what a nice dude you are).
Hopefully, other letters will better cover the academic side of things."
What do you guys think about the quality of this letter?

Sounds pretty good to me. It would be weird if the PI wrote about qualities he wouldn't be able to judge anyway.
