Self-awareness cannot be fully tested, it can only be inferred from behavior. We don't even know if other human beings are self-aware (see philosophical zombies), we trust it and infer from their behavior (I am self-aware --> other people behave similarly to me --> they are self-aware). Self-awareness is a buzzword in cognitive science that isn't epistemologically substantive enough to conduct definitive research.

"Buzzword" is not the right term for this term lol

​

It's meaningful and... not just fashionable. Whether you think it's easily benchmarked is a different story.
