I related with @
Amargith's post, too, even though our specifications are a little different. I personally interpret dependability as whether you can be counted on; reliability as whether you will follow through; and loyalty as whether you will continue to support someone/thing regardless of what others think.
By my own definitions, I would say I am moderately dependable, very reliable, and very loyal but only to those who are very close to me. The key to making me trustworthy in general is getting me to
formally agree to a
formal event or role - clear date, time, game plan, responsibilities. Anything casual I'm going to deal with mostly on my own terms and you can forget spur-of-the-moment dependability entirely unless you're a really close friend. On the other hand, if you
are a close friend, close family, or my significant other, I will drop almost anything immediately to be with you or help you.
My most significant
weakness in terms of dependability is probably that I REALLY prioritize people hierarchically, and very much avoid making plans with more distant relations to leave opportunity for plans with SO, family, or best friends. I'll usually only use the time when my highest-ranking people are unavailable to make plans with the lower-ranking. I tend to run 5-10 minutes late for casual or spur-of-the-moment plans - I'm not the best time guesstimator - and I am likely to get distracted and ditch internet conversations for long periods of time. With email conversations and PMs, I get in too deep too fast, realize I'm not ready to commit, and then go running for the hills. I apologize if I've done that to anyone who's reading this!
My
strongest point is probably that I am very good with formalized plans. I am a good planner and coordinator, good at fulfilling my responsibilities, good at taking on my fair share and then some as needed, good about being early to prep, good at putting in effort, good at following through, and good at maintaining communication throughout. I will never ditch during or just before a planned event, I'm tactful, good at handling a wide range of social situations, and level-headed in a crisis. I really hate dumping work on other people and tend to be a workaholic (which is sort of a double-edged sword because that can cut into time with my SO and family). And contrary to FP stereotype, during the in-between times, I am good with keeping in regular contact. Even if that is mostly because I enjoy Facebook stalking so much.
