Can a caster of True Strike target his or herself only?
Quote: A glimpse into the future ensures your next blow strikes true. The next time you make an attack roll before the end of your turn, roll the attack twice and use the better result. The attack ignores circumstance penalties to the attack roll and any flat check required due to the target being concealed or hidden. What you are basically asking is "Do I make an attack roll to strike myself?".
Given that touch attacks hit automatically, I would say that no, you touch yourself without making an attack roll.

True strike is not a touch spell. It has neither range nor target. You cast it with a Verbal component, and the text happens.

I think they were asking "After I cast true strike on myself, can I target something else on myself and have it benefit from true strike?"
I think no because you don't make an attack roll for self target or touch attack.
I suppose you could shoot yourself with a ray, or those lame crossbows that wizards usually carry, and by RAW you'd roll for it, and true strike would come on. But my exploit sense is tingling so I'd rather not go down that road.
I read the question as 'can I give the benefits of this spell to another character?'
The answer is No: It specifically helps your next attack roll, not those of an ally.

Taja, that was what I intended to communicate. Thank you all for your assistance.

Nope, See the "reading spells" section of the book page 306
