IF YOU SCORED:

1 TO 15:
Uh-oh! Time to rethink your definition of honesty. Truth doesn't shift with circumstances. It remains constant-no matter how much trouble it might it might cause you. If you demand integrity from yourself, you'll be a winner in the end. Honest!

16 to 30:
Your line between honesty and dishonesty may be a little fuzzier than you realize. You try to take the high road, but are tempted to take the easy path. Luke 16:10 tells us "Whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." So ask God to help you whenever being truthful is tough.

31 to 45:
Welcome to the land of integrity! You look at honesty as a badge of honor and do your best to do what you know is right. You may not always hit the bull's-eye, but you come close enough to be proud. "Got to be true" is your motto.

46 to 60:
If there is such a thing as being too honest, you might be the poster child. Being tactful isn't necessarily the same thing as being dishonest, so keep that in mind as you journey through life. The Bible urges us to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). With a little common sense, you can be kind and truthful.
