Can a person be both Honest and Dishonest?

Question

i consider myself an honest person, in the sense that:

A. i am incapable of wishful thinking - false hope.

B. If I do not think something is really true, i have trouble convincing myself otherwise.

C. i do not believe things unless they make sense.

E. i have trouble denying the existence of suffering in the world.

However, i am also dishonest:

Answer 6

******I think so. But ultimately you're not a really trustworthy person because you'll ultimately do whatever it takes, even lie to get what you want.*****  

Answer 7

everyone is a little honest and a little dishonest. there is no black and white when comes to things like this (ex. jekyll and hyde for good and evil) there's just a spectrum (maybe 0 for dishonest and 10 for honest) but even that way it wouldn't work since we shift our personalities too much to ever rate ourselves when it comes to that.
