Johari Window

I remember the "Johari Window" concept from my elementary religion class. It's said to be useful in understanding a person's interpersonal relationships. The Johari Window is similar to a cross-type window pane, with four little windows (imagine a giant square divided into four):

  1. Aspect known to to self and to other people (something everybody knows)
  2. Aspect known only by yourself (your secrets)
  3. Aspect known only by others (your blind spot)
  4. Aspect not known by anyone including yourself (uh....top secret???)

Usually what's of interest is the "blind spot" area -- things that other people know about you which you don't know about. Sure, we shouldn't really care what other people think, but...wouldn't it be nice to know what other people think about you? Plus, you can better understand how to improve yourself so you can better relate to others.

So please...help me fill out my Johari Window as well! Hehe. Click this link. Thanks!
