Bumtiousness, I'm afraid, is the not-very-neat word that does exist. I'd love there to be a word "gumtious", but this doesn't exist!

The word bumption has appeared in print in the past. See, for example, "Boundless Bumption," an editorial in The Bible Champion (August 1918): "Such disgusting self-conceit is so offensive to the great multitude of educated Christians, that it might fitly be termed Unmitigated Gall. The Bible Champion would better characterize it as Boundless Bumption." Like bumptiousness, bumption seems to mean "conceitedness."

...but in the Dayton chapter notes of Banking: Journal of the American Bankers Association (June 1912), the term is used in a considerably more positive sense, in a slogan that is "emblazoned on [a shield] on the wall": "Brains, bumption, bullion, bankers and borrowers make business." Here, bumption seems to mean something like "nerve" or "self-confidence" or "gumption."
