No, I find it very interesting. It’s very enlightening to hear somebody else’s view on introspection. I tend to introspect a lot (sometimes maybe too much). I always had a bit of a double relationship with it as you are never sure about your conclusions about yourself and I dislike uncertainty rather strongly.
However, I can’t see another way how know to yourself better. You can use evolutionary psychology & psychological studies but they only provide very broad strokes. You could go to a psychiatrist but there are a lot of different schools to chose from so you are still not sure (and also expensive off course).
I’m curious, are you also planning to write something about doing something with the conclusions reached through introspection ? I never had much problems analyzing myself but don’t have a lot of motivation to act upon it.

I wrote a little bit on what to do with your conclusions in “Lampshading”.
