I've had the unsettling experience of meeting a person who did not understand the concept of self-awareness. It was an intelligent person and I conclude that either the person was pulling my leg or there was a semantics problem in our communication. The person was probably self-aware, but didn't connect the term to the experience.
On the other hand, the assumption that all normally-appearing and functioning human beings are self-aware may not be valid.
Is the opposite possibly true: that some human beings that say they are self-aware are really not? What tests can be applied to determine the truth?
