Now I’m not talking about honest in such a way that they will answer personal questions about themselves, people have secrets, it’s a given. I’m talking about getting too much back in change and giving it back. Admitting they are wrong in an argument instead of trying to argue and invalid point. Maybe doing or saying something they shouldn’t have and asking forgiveness. You know, the hard stuff. What percentage of people would you guess are actually honest?

o% really? I think I am. I'm not going to tell anyone stuff that is none of their business. But I'm always honest. Maybe it's why I'm about to go live in a cabin in the woods.

Honesty is a concept originating in the soul, it's always in reference to your norms and standards(which reside in you soul )
If you violate these standards one develops whats called a conscience....
There are many layers of honesty, it all becomes relative to the individuals & society standards & norms ....
Honesty in a intellectual sense (knowing the truth but telling a lie )
would be one sense, stealing another,....
So I don't think one could put a specific number on this subject..maybe a very general one .......fifty/fifty perhaps....

How will they know if the people are all answering honestly? It would be impossible to answer this question.
