honesty
Honesty is a strength within the virtue category of courage. Courage describes strengths that help you exercise your will and face adversity. The other strengths in Courage are bravery, perseverance , and zest .
When you are honest, you speak the truth. More broadly, you present yourself in a genuine and sincere way, without pretence, and taking responsibility for your feelings and actions. You are a person of integrity — you are who you say you are — and you act consistently across the domains of your life rather than being one way in the community and a completely different way in your family. As a result, you believe you are being consistently true to yourself.
This strength involves accurately representing your internal states, intentions, and commitments, both publicly and privately. The strength of honesty is often linked to self-concordance- the extent to which your goals accurately represent your implicit interests and values. Honesty allows people to take responsibility for their feelings and behaviours, owning them, and reaping benefits by doing so.
