How do you translate 'self aware'?

Question

How do you translate 'self aware' ?

Answer 1

consciente de sí mismo

hmm. Probably not quite what is meant by the term.

Well, this dictionary agrees.

awareness

self-awareness n (understanding of oneself)

conciencia de sí/uno mismo nf

Self-awareness and meditation are central to Buddhism.

Creo que aumentar la conciencia de sí mismo ayuda en las relaciones interpersonales.

I'm not sure if this works for the sci-fi context of when a machine becomes self-aware or whether a plant is self-aware, etc.
