That's a nice answer. I'd have to agree with you on the equanimity thought. For another thought, I think maybe the ability to admit fault, among other things, is a sign of maturity.
Do you think equanimity could ever be a negative thing?
I'm OP, btw. But I think you already knew that, haha.
I knew nothing! That emoticon was just because I rubbed my right eye and forgot I had eyeliner on! I swear!
admitting fault is a good one. tis one of my most favorite personality traits in a person :-)
You really have to try hard to find negatives in equanimity. For a long time I've wondered if being equanimous is reciprocal. Meaning, you notice how whenever there's a stressful scenario, one person being anxious kind of forces another to be the calmer one? So if you look at it the other way, is one being equanimous at another's expense? Would this be considered a negative? :O
I actually think being equanimous at another's expense would be even more of a positive. It would be selflessness in a way - that itself could be considered a sign of maturity.
But a lack of concern is another story - I think that's a negative. I feel like a lot of people who -want- to be mature, feel the need to act apathetic 24/7 as if emotion is immature.
What are the signs of maturity?

Perhaps being excessively equanimous can be seen as lack of concern or a necessary... intensity.

Eyeliner, hm. Very believable.
