How you present yourself will offer the interviewer insight into the makeup of your personality. They want to determine if you're overconfident or modest in your answer. Take the time to consider the question before giving your answer.

This is a tricky question, as nobody is 100% honest, even when they try. But this question isn't about subjectivity or the logistics of honesty. What this question is more geared towards answering are your intentions, your integrity, and your self-perception. Like Einstein said, "The more I learn, the more I realize how little I understand." Explaining that you try to be as honest with yourself as possible, especially when confronted with emotionally confusing situations, is key.

This question is all about what the semantics of your answer reveal about you and your intentions. Choose your words carefully. Honesty and communication go hand in hand. An effective communicator is an honest one.

"As far as how'd I'd quantify honesty, I'd say that on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd score a 10 for my integrity, loyalty, respect, and pure intentions. I'd also say I'm not a very good liar, and consistently take full responsibility for my actions. I'd say I am even courageous in this regard."
