I interpret your definition as being specifically about self-consciousness, not consciousness in general. Is this a good interpretation?

Do you mean explicit (conceptual) self-awareness or implicit self-awareness, or both? If the former, young children probably wouldn't be conscious, but if the latter, then just about every animal would be.
