Plain speaker.

Answer 6

There is such a thing as being a plain speaker who uses diplomacy. You can directly say what you have to say while simultaneously couching it in kindness.

I like people who express what they're thinking, but at the same time do not hurt people.

Answer 10

I'm with you - a straight-down-the-middle no nonsense kinda stuff. I don't understand people who nancy about. Of course, you have to be able to be tactful, or you run the risk of sounding arrogant, insensitive and downright nasty! (And that takes a bit of practice....)
