Trustworthy vs. Trusted

The trustworthiness of a resource is not necessarily correlated to the recipient’s perception (and subsequent trust) of the resource. In order to conceptualize this, consider the chart below. The vertical axis represents the objective reality of a given resource as “trustworthy” or “not trustworthy.” The horizontal axis represents the recipient’s perception of that translation as “trusted” or “not trusted.”[1]
