Yes, most of us do lie one way or another, almost every day. Like when someone calls you on the phone and you're in the middle of something, but you still say you have time to stop and talk. Those are different to lies told simply to get yourself out of the shit or which are self serving and deceitful.
I would rate myself at least a 9 on a level of one to ten. If someone asks me to help them with something and I say yes, then they can count on me to be there, even if it's at my own expense. I believe that if you give your word, it's as safe as houses and you can count on it no matter what. If I say I'm going to be somewhere at a certain time, it's very rare for me not to be on time. If you ask me a question and want my opinion, you'll get it, even if you don't like it. You can trust me to be honest with you and not make false promises.
