Integrity is a fundamental character virtue defined by consistency between core moral principles, ethical standards, and daily actions. Ten defining traits of an individual with high integrity include unwavering honesty in communication; absolute reliability and consistency in keeping promises; accountability for mistakes rather than shifting blame onto others; fairness and equity in treating all people regardless of their social status; moral courage to stand up for ethical principles under pressure; transparency and authenticity in personal and professional dealings; trustworthiness in safeguarding confidential information; humility to recognize personal limitations; respect for the boundaries and rights of others; and a steadfast commitment to doing what is right even when no one is watching.
