Well, there is no doubt that certain qualities will help you get engagement (likes, retweets, quote tweets and responses, in order of difficulty.)
Obviously, simply having a huge following can make a difference. No matter what inanity a famous person utters, when they are followed by enough followers to people a small country, they will get high response numbers.
For those of us not blessed with fame and fortune, it's always possible to get engagement by piggy-backing a famous person's tweet. If your tweet is especially intelligent, funny or poignant it will go largely ignored, unless it hits a zetigeist or is quoted or RT by someone. I once had a tweet RTed by a very famous person and found my follower numbers up by about 500 overnight. Then I was back to posting about stuff I care about and that stopped. ^_^
Snark or negativity will immediately have your feed awash with hordes of billionaire groupies and wannabees. So...that's a kind of engagement. I find that useful sometimes, to poke the bear of tech brobabies or the various *.*gate hate groups to find new and exciting horrid humans to block and report.
The most tried and true method is to build a large audience by being an interesting person, then saying useful, cogent, retweet-able things during the hours when your audience is online.
