Measuring the success of introspection (as in epistemic success, as opposed to instrumental success) runs into a Wittgensteinian problem heavily. That is, it is ‘As if someone were to buy several copies of the morning paper to assure himself that what it said was true’.
I usually measure my success by whether I can predict my system 1 responses to a situation ahead of time. The point is to model myself properly anyway.
Also, my OH can read me like a book. We mutually developed the me-trospection so we checked reads with each other.
We learned to read my mind at the same time, so could tell if at least one of us was wrong, by differing. Also we’re not the same person, so rationalising in different directions means we were rarely both the same kind of wrong.

Could you please explain this sentence?
