On a scale from 1 to 10, how honest are you?

"I would love to give myself a 10/10 for honesty, but truthfully, nobody is 100% honest all the time. I will give myself a nine because I always do my best to be as honest as possible.

I am never openly deceitful, but there are times when there is a disconnect between how much information is needed and how much is given. I find that discussing and agreeing to a communication plan with new clients helps avoid this scenario."

"I focus on honesty and trustworthiness in the workplace and in my personal life. Because I strive for complete honesty, I will rate myself as a 10/10. My values are solid."

Remember to include a method to proactively avoid situations in which your honesty would be in question. For example, asking a client how much they would like to know about your discussions with the other agent involved in a deal ahead of time can avoid situations where you might accidentally omit information.
