Answer:

Actual self

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual self also called a self-discrepancy theory was given by Tory Higgins in 1987. It is the a cognitive structure of a person such as a schema and representation contain all the qualities or vice and virtue that a person believes that all are self-descriptive. This self-discrepancy does not an issue for a person self but it is the issue for another person.

For example, if I am very punctual about my work then it is the attributes about myself that I am a punctual person and even my colleague also describes it for me that I already knew it called is my self actual.

This is self-describing attributes about a person about own-self and the person is aware of is regardless of that this evaluation is done by self or by other persons.
