One of the best ways of insuring that we have a representative sample is to use a self-selected sample.

False.

Self-selected samples tend to be biased rather than representative of the population, since they tend to exclude people who are not interested in or available to be part of a study or survey. Self-selected samples can also be more easily manipulated by the public.
