19. On a scale from 1 to 10, how honest are you?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
The interviewer asks this question to see if you feel that you are a sincere person or if you have room for growth. This could be a tricky question as nobody is always 100% honest. Answer to the best of your ability and back your reply by speaking about your ethics and how you try to be honest in everything you do.

Focus Your Answer On
Focus on rating your honesty on a scale of 1 to 10, as the interviewer asks. While you might want to rate yourself a 10, the interviewer will understand if you rate yourself a little lower as we all have room for improvement.
