What is the opposite of gullible?

The opposite of gullible could be:

* Skeptical: This is the most direct opposite, meaning someone who is doubtful and questions things before accepting them.

* Discerning: Someone who is discerning is able to make wise judgments and see through deception.

* Astute: This implies a keen understanding and a good sense of how to assess situations and people.

* Wary: Someone who is wary is cautious and hesitant to believe things without good evidence.

* Cynical: While not always positive, a cynical person often distrusts motives and intentions, which can make them less susceptible to being tricked.

The best opposite word depends on the specific context.
