autodescribirse

to describe oneself

Usage

Straightforward self-description, common in bios, personality tests, and interviews: ¿cómo te autodescribirías? Slightly more formal or reflective than simply describirse.

Examples
  • En la entrevista le pidieron que se autodescribiera en tres palabras.In the interview they asked him to describe himself in three words.
  • Se autodescribe como una persona curiosa y perfeccionista.She describes herself as a curious, perfectionist person.
  • Es difícil autodescribirse con objetividad.It's hard to describe yourself objectively.
Common mistake

No real trap here beyond redundancy — pairing it with 'a sí mismo' (autodescribirse a sí mismo) is repetitive, since auto- already carries that meaning.
