I'm reminded of the following: That one measure of a person's humility is the ability to laugh at oneself.
Not Scriptural, but still some truth there.
My prideful self wanted to look only at the signs of humility, and check them off in my mind -- yep, I've got that one, that one, etc. But, far more instructive for me was the list of the signs of pride, and I had to force myself to ponder THAT list more deeply. How insidious are the roots of pride.

Thanks Catherine, I've made the change.
