On a scale of 1 to 10?

An INTP friend insists that he can't trust me because I am "always up to something". Coming from an INTP I think that puts me at about 4 or 5.

I usually always have a reason for doing something so I'd say a 9.

I'm transparent about as much as possible so the few things I'm not transparent on, no one suspects I'm hiding anything.

The question has changed and so has my answer. I'm with Jennifer on this one. Most of the time I am extremely open, which hides the fact that I hide facts.

Damn, you're right. Sneaky little rabbit. Thank you for bring me to my senses.

Probably like a 9, I can't lie very well nor so I have any ability to mask what I'm really thinking.

I changed the question because I knew my fellow NTs would be too pansy to answer the first one.

As transparent as a winner of a wet t-shirt contest!

Aha... don't need to cover anything up when you can draw attention to something else instead, and it allows you to hide things out in the open. I hope touching is allowed. :D

Lying is a lot more effort than it's worth. Figures some NTs are too lazy for it.

If I try, I can hide anything.. However, I don't like lying, in fact, it's nearly impossible for me if it's not serious enough for me to hide. I giggle when I do x)

Transparent on motivations? I usually try to be at all times. I hate manipulation because I hate being manipulated.

I thought I was transparent but after recent events/blow-ups, I asked about it. I was told "not very".

Wow. :shock:

I don't believe it.

6...ish?

Most days people know everything about me and my motives, so much so that I don't even know what I'm doing and seem surprised everyone else does.

Other days I'm an enigma to most, including myself.

Probably 4-5. I will usually share my motivations and reasons for doing things, especially when enlisting others' help. I am very stingy with personal information, though, and I share emotional content with very few.

I'd like to think that I have a wall up so no one can see what I'm thinking.

However, there are those select few who know exactly what is going on in my rat maze of a mind. So I suppose it really matters on the audience.
