9. This is an impossibly skewed poll
The answer to almost everyone of these questions depends on the nuances of context. For example, whether or not I would be "honest" with a friend about a bad haircut depends greatly on the context of my relationship with this person. I may no that my friend really wants a straight frank answer from me more than anything else. Or I may know that my friend really wants moral wants to feel support, or my acceptance more than anything else. Or maybe something else.

Quite a few of these questions, if not all of them, are completely contextual, and I would answer different to each depending on context.
