| Although we describe ourselves in all sorts of
different ways, self descriptions can be categorised into four broad areas:
PHYSICAL Descriptions of self which could be observed or identified or potentially be described by others; they are mainly about physical features or physical activities such as: • objective facts – e.g., ‘I am 8 years old’; • overt achievements – e.g., ‘I can swim 25 metres’; • manifested preferences – e.g., ‘I like milk’; • possessions – e.g., ‘I’ve got a blue bike’; • physical attributes – e.g., ‘I’ve got brown hair and blue eyes’; • membership categories – e.g., ‘I am a girl’.
