Here are a few more that come to mind:

previous experience learning a foreign language
level of literacy in first language
personality factors (risk-taking ability, how outgoing a person is)
amount of free time available for study
opportunities for interaction with speakers of the 2nd language
match between the type of instruction and the person's learning style
