I would like all of you to read what information you get on Johari Windows on the net. I had an opportunity to go through this around 15 years back and this has impacted me significantly.
I am putting below a summary of the concept, but would encourage all of you to read more about this and discuss among each other.
The basic of this concept are as below:
- That individuals can build trust between themselves by disclosing information about themselves; and
- That they can learn about themselves and come to terms with personal issues with the help of feedback from others.
The four quadrants of human personality / interactions are:
Quadrant 1: Open Area
What is known by the person about him/herself and is also known by others.
Quadrant 2: Blind Area, or "Blind Spot"
What is unknown by the person about him/herself but which others know. This can be simple information, or can involve deep issues (for example, feelings of inadequacy, incompetence, unworthiness, rejection) which are difficult for individuals to face directly, and yet can be seen by others.
Quadrant 3: Hidden or Avoided Area
What the person knows about him/herself that others do not.
Quadrant 4: Unknown Area
What is unknown by the person about him/herself and is also unknown by others.
In summary you can significantly improve your interaction if "OPEN AREA" is the largest area in the four quadrants.I am sure this will be useful and is you are able to implement this well in your daily life, it will significantly improve your interaction with family, friend and all.
