JOHARI WINDOW ACTIVITY


The Johari Window is a framework for understanding conscious and unconscious bias
that can help increase self-awareness and our understanding of others. It is the creation
of two psychologists, Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham, who named the model by
combining their first names. It is composed of four quadrants in which people using the
framework can identify what they know about themselves and what other people know
about them. This results in four areas of understanding:
 Open area: information about you (attitudes, behavior, emotions, feelings, skills
and views) that you know about yourself and also known by other people.
 Blind area: information about you (attitudes, behavior, emotions, feelings, skills
and views) that other people knew but you are unaware of it.
 Hidden area: information about you (attitudes, behavior, emotions, feelings, skills
and views) that is known by you but other are unaware of it.
 Unknown area: information which are unaware to yourselves as well as others. 

INSTRUCTION:
Take time to reflect on yourself. Then write at least five (5) characteristics about
you in each quadrant.

What can you conclude from the information you have written above? Limit your
answer to 7 - 10 sentences only.
While reflecting on my self through this Johari Window, I have come to realize
a lot of things about my identity. Firstly, most of the things that I am and other people
are aware of are positive traits, views, beliefs and more while the description of myself
that only people around me are aware of are mostly negative. Those results show that I
only know my self in the better perspective and I should reflect more on what I do wrong
so that I can improve it. For the hidden area, I can see that I am not fully honest about
my self, even to the closest part of my life who are my parents. I am still afraid of what
they will say about me once I fully unleash who I am. That was also shown in the
unknown area wherein I have some past experiences and traumas that I think caused
me to not know my self completely. In conclusion, I still have to assess my own self
continuously so that I can completely understand who I am.
