They get right to the point, whether asking for a favor or giving us behavior-based feedback. Of course, candor does not give you permission to be tactless and inconsiderate. And when candid individuals don't know an answer to our question, they don't ignore us or hem and haw. They tell us outright when they don't know something, and they tell us they'll get back to us later. Then our trust in both their intentions and abilities increases when they get back to us soon with an answer.
Candor also requires a lack of prejudice.
Candid people are not judgmental. We all tend not to trust people who show a tendency to evaluate or judge others on the basis of some stereotype or preconceived notion. Consistency We usually trust the intentions of people who confess openly their inability to answer our question. But we expect them to follow through when they say they'll get back to us. Whether the promise regards a positive reward or negative threat of punishment or discipline, trust decreases when the consequence is not delivered.
