Types of Integrity
- Author and lecturer Denis Waitley once said, "Who you are speaks so loudly I cannot hear what you are saying." This type of integrity deals with the quality of a person's character: who the person is and what the person believes in and stands up for. It is a set of morals, virtues and values that the person was either born with or learned.
- Sincerity is commonly used by those who want to avoid the use of any false information when talking to someone. People who strive to be honorable keep a strong watch on their standards of belief within their workplace, home, church, school and position in life. They strive to be honorable toward all humankind by yielding to these standards in all that they do.

It is used in the engineering of a building by researching the location of the building and its materials so it is as structurally safe as possible in the event of a disastrous event. - Integrity in inanimate objects means that all forms of the whole are working properly and are complete. It refers to inanimate objects, such as computer integrity, a database or defense system integrity, plus others that are uncorrupted by error.
