If that's a question, the answer is yes. The self is just an invisible database of values about our current and recent past. If I ask you if you are a patient person, or strong, or intelligent, you intuitively know an answer to these questions. That's transparently drawing upon that database of values. And these things might change over time, as in, "I was very impatient when I was younger, but I am not anymore."
