While seeking to [[develop]] the answer to this question, self-knowledge requires ongoing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-awareness self-awareness] and [[self-consciousness]] (which is not to be confused with [[consciousness]].) Young infants and even [[animals]] will display some of the [[traits]] self-awareness and [[agency]], yet not be considered as also having [[self-consciousness]]. At some greater level of [[cognition]], however, a [[self-conscious]] component emerges in addition to an increased self-awareness component, and then it becomes possible to ask "What am I like?", and to answer with ''self-knowledge''.

Self-knowledge is a component of the [[self]], or more accurately, the [[self]]-[[concept]]. It is the [[knowledge]] of one's [[self]] and one's properties and the [[desire]] to seek such knowledge that guide the [[development]] of the self concept. Self-knowledge informs us of our mental [[representations]] of ourselves, which contain [[attributes]] that we uniquely pair with ourselves, and [[theories]] on whether these attributes are stable, or [[dynamic]].
