How can you determine whether or not someone is trustworthy? What are signs that you look for?

Whether they tell everyone else's business, the type if lifestyle they lead, if the person is happy with their own lives and if they have shown to be be vindictive or sneaky.

I have a close friend who tells me all our mutual and her own friends business. I do side eye her. I have actually stopped telling her stuff that I wouldn't want anyone else knowing. Problem is, that is not exactly a friendship if you can't tell your friend private stuff. If I wanted to talk about the weather, I would so with a colleague.
I think she has caught on. She was on the phone nattering about a mutual friend's business and I was dead silent. She then says ''oh don't worry hun, I tell her straight on. Nothing I am telling you she wasn't heard from me'. Oh yes that makes it alright then.
I guess this hasn't answered your question. I don't really know, but the older I get, I just need to be comfortable around you. You don't have to be perfect (I am not!) but it's not just about having a good time. I can't tolerate friends who are in constant competition with you. A little competition might be healthy as it can spur you to do good in life but not where errrything is a competition. I hate that.

Do they keep their word? Do they know how to have fun without drugs, alcohol, sex or slander? Do they talk out their neck? I tend not to trust people who talk terribly about their families *shrugs*

Whether they have long term, healthy friendships with other people. That tells you they're a good friend that people don't wanna lose.
I tried becoming friends with two different females who didn't didn't have any long term friendships, and had recently lost other friends. I found out why people stopped dealing with them.
