Off topic, but is there a name for names that are diagnostic or demonstrative of the thing. Eg you can't say 'lisp' with a lisp, have trouble spelling dyslexia with dyslexia. 'hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia' is the fear of long words, TLA (three letter acronym) and the above obviously.

Would that be my personal pin number, or some other pin number?
It's your personal personal identification number number
The PIN you use to prove it's your card, when you use it in an ATM or in a chip and PIN reader.
I'm going to hazard a guess that @ggambetta is making a veiled reference to "RAS Syndrome".

I think you are looking for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autological_word
Perhaps? The examples given seem much more limited to the qualities of the word itself, I'm not sure the lisp example would fit under that banner.
That page does link to 'Ostensive definition' though:
"An ostensive definition conveys the meaning of a term by pointing out examples"
So perhaps 'Auto-ostensive'?

Yep :) Didn't know it was called that.
It's refreshing to see the correct capitalisation and no redundant words in your sentence :)
It's the one you use in the ATM Machine :)
I only use automatic ATM machines.
