i would trust the most trustworthy person :P j/k, i know that isn't a real answer

if it was from a political perspective i would trust the person with the least influence/power.

luckyly I am not, I would trust the most loving person because it would not be in their nature to harm you. my second choice would be the sincere person, because if they said they wouldn't tell someone my secrets, they would mean what they said.
