“Self-invented”… hilarious.
This is a relatively common term of art used in discussions of social science (e.g., psychology, political science, economics, etc.).
I probably could have clarified, but I think the meaning should be easily inferred from the context. Plus, it’s easily confirmed with a quick look up (two taps on my phone) or search.
Example of source that shows that it’s not something I just made up:
