I would caution everyone to be extremely wary of anyone who actively promulgates the idea that they themselves are virtuous, selfless or altruistic. I cannot think of any genuinely good reason someone would want do this.

Instead, when it comes to these kinds of traits they should only be considered as possibilities after observing what a person does rather than what they say. Actions rather than words.

If they are using words good chance they are forgoing the actions. Otherwise why would they need to be telling you what they are?
