Tier 1 (General) visa application - Question B26 clarificati

[aj80]

I am writing this mail seeking clarification on Tier 1 General extension visa application (version 04/11) within UK on question:

B26. The applicant should indicate whether they consider themselves to be employed or self-employed


What should applicant answer for the above question on below circumstance?

Applicant being a director of his own UK based company (IT consulting) from last 3 months onwards and earning source is from salary and dividend. Prior to this period worked for a UK software company as an employee and his earnings are from monthly salary. In this circumstance if the applicant wishes to claim the qualified earnings from first consecutive 12 months of last 15 months period as salaried employee, whether applicant providing an answer as 'Employed' for the question B26 in Tier 1 General application will be acceptable by UKBA ?

I am assuming the context of this question is around earnings claimed. Please correct me if I am wrong in my understanding.
