Alright so dishonesty. You can be a "Dishonest" person. Right. Like, in general. Right? So that could be considered a personality trait. Right? So the "Dishonesty" dimension would be split into the sub dimensions of Intellectual dishonesty (deceptive wordplay or sophistry) and Overt dishonesty (compulsive lying or lying for sport). And I imagine it would be linked to low conscientiousness... Yeah... That sounds about right... but I'm pretty low in that so it's strange that I'm hyper honest... I don't know how I would reconcile that... Fuck it. I'm the exception to all rules. Nevermind me. It's probably conscientiousness.
