wisdom leads to everything else

I don't see them as seperate traits. A person who lives with integrity and honesty already has self respect, and will normally become a wise person through experience. The only one of those that, to me, can be born seperately in a personality trait is honesty ... a person can be honest and not have self respect. But once you add honesty *with* integrity, the self respect is a guarantee, and wisdom will eventually follow.
So I don't see any one trait as being more important than the others.

Integrity. If you have that you have honesty and self respect. Wisdom comes with age and experience.

Honesty

In my opinion honesty,integrity come first and then rank self-respect and wisdom. If you are honest, you will think positive and integrity is reflected in your every action.If you care to maintain these two, you can use your wisdom in a better way and will command self-respect. Which means you have to be honest first.

They are all the same thing. Integrity can be defined as personal honesty, self-respect is most powerful when it entails knowing the actual truth about yourself, wisdom is the application of that knowledge, and honesty can only exist when truth is known and applied. By choosing one, I choose all of them. If one priciple seems to be in conflict with another, then one of them is false.

Self respect because without it you don't have honesty, wisdom or integrity

All of them are important. One can't exist w/out the other. To have self respect you must have integrity and to have integrity, you must be honest to yourself and to everyone around you. But to be honest, you must have the wisdom to know the right from the wrong.

Well all three of these things are important, but I would feel that honesty is the most important. Honesty is what makes other people believe in you, and makes people trust you more. Without honesty people will feel, that you are someone who they can't trust. Without being trusted, people won't give you a chance at anything.

WOW. good question. I think they all tie into each other but i think you get honesty, wisdom, and integrity from self respect.

Good question. I think wisdom is most important because with wisdom you know how and when to be honest. You will have self respect because others will respect you.
