I am not sure how conscious it was. It more had wills that came from the bit of Sauron in it. For example it corrupted, but I don't think it did it so much as a conscious decision, more because its urge it to corrupt. Also it wanted to have more power, thus it either tried to get back to Sauron or find someone who could wield it then tempt them. So yeah I still think its like Morgoth's Curse in the Narn, something that tried to bend things towards evil.
