The interviewer would like to know how others see you. It is easy to say that you are trustworthy and honest, but it's best if you can back it up with a review or words from a previous supervisor.

Yes, people see me as honest. My previous manager did not have to give me deadlines, he asked how long I expected the task to be done and I told him honestly. If I thought it was to take longer than expected, I would tell him that and not overestimate myself. If it were to take shorted than expected, I would tell him that rather than completing the task early and dilly-dallying. If I were not trustworthy, he would enforce the deadlines based on his own judgment rather than mine.

The example you've provided helps illustrate that you can be trusted to work autonomously and with integrity. You can enhance this answer further by talking about any new or additional leadership responsibilities, complex tasks, or compliance/quality assurance duties you've been given because you've proven to be trustworthy in the workplace.
