Oh this is a really good question.
I would say, as long as their eyes light up at the question, even if they ramble and give a long-winded, rambling answer, it's sufficient evidence of minimum amount of self-awareness.
May not be aware of what's the solution for them to open up, but at least they are self-aware that they have this issue.
Good enough for me at least :)
By the way, you should do a thread / article of the collection of the best questions to ask
