Candor, Character or Confidence...which is most important for a person display in relationships? Why?

SFC Stephen King I suspect that most will say all of them.
Candor to me is very important and usually takes care of the other two,if a person is honest,they usually are confident and of good character.J.M.O.

SFC Stephen King they all our important, however I was embedded in 1989 in BCT, to display honesty first and foremost. Candor (the quality of being open and honest in expression; frankness) as step one. If you can't respect something or someone what the purpose. Great depiction. I was raised on the 4 Cs: courage, competence, candor and confidence. It actually was a question on my E-5 promotion board back in 1993. Wow 23 years later I see it again. Awesome read and share.

Candor, because trust matters above all. Character always sounds good, but requires further definition and is somewhat subjective. Confidence comes with trust.

Candor would be #1 for Military relationships but competence would be my #1 work-wise. If you can use candor you already got the other two

One without the other does not allow for a complete personality, frankly more traits should be added to the list. I guess I cheated by saying all, Candor for me would take the lead! Candor can only be had when one is Confident, which depicts Character. Great post!!!

I would say Character. As others have stated, the other two are embodied in Character.

Great question,

Character, a solid one of Honor, will have the consistent appearance of all three words combined. Show me a person with character and I will show you a person that also has candor and confidence.

Definitely Character. You can build Confidence, you can teach Candor, but Character is harder to fix.

Character, although used as a positive, could also be associated with a negative: he/she was a "shady", "boisterous" or "deceitful" character, so honesty is always the best policy! The adjective describing type of character is more important.

Candor.

If you speak honestly, you aren't going to be lying and displaying anything short of good character. If you speak honestly, you have no choice but to speak with confidence - even when you are ignorant about a specific situation (you'll readily admit that you're out of your league!).

That's just my ten cents, because my two cents are free.
