Your edit should go at the top. I was disagreeing with most of it when I was reading “describe yourself as” literally as how you concisely communicate your belief clusters to others, who may or may not be as rational as you are.
If you just mean a variant of “don’t believe your own press”, I fully agree.
If you’re talking about self-labeling, you should probably just choose “me” as the label. Any other risks an incorrect focus on some external aspect of your beliefs.
