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.
