forthright
Significado: Direct and outspoken; straightforward and honest in expressing opinions or views.

It is generally positive, implying honesty and courage, though it can suggest bluntness that borders on tactlessness. It contrasts with 'circumspect' and 'evasive.' It collocates with 'manner,' 'criticism,' 'views,' 'about,' 'in,' and 'response.'
