Self-knowledge is linked to the cognitive self in that its motives guide our search to gain greater clarity and assurance that our own self-concept is an accurate representation of our "true self"; for this reason the cognitive self is also referred to as the "known self". The cognitive self is made up of everything we know (or "think we know" about ourselves). This implies physiological properties such as hair color, race, and height etc.; and psychological properties like beliefs, values, and dislikes to name but a few.
