How to say: Do you see yourself as a helper?
How do I ask the question: Do you see yourself as a helper? I think this is correct. I need a little help with this. ¿Véase como un ayudante?

Is that a question or an order? (Hint: check the verb form).
The "un" looks excessive to me, but I'd want a second opinion on it. |

A question is not being asked.
The article isn't needed. |

I like that one. That sounds most natural in English.

No matter how you say it, you have to use the article..

Question: Would "Te consideras ayudante?" be different from "Te consideras dentista?"
No, no soy dentista (ayudante). Being an ayudante is less well defined compared to being a dentist, but I'm not sure how that does, or doesn't, affect the usage of the article. Hopefully someone can clarify this for me. Thanks! |

Somehow "me considero dentista" sounds weird to me. I'd say "me considero un dentista".
