Counselling Homework, Task Seven



THE JOHARI WINDOW

The Johari window is named after it’s originators, Joe Luft and Harry Ingham.
It represents what we know about ourselves and what is unknown.
It also looks at what we let others know and what we keep hidden.
Look at the window and write in the different boxes aspects of your own personality and behaviour. Which ones can you write in and which ones are blank?

For more information go to this site :Johari Window Model
To create your own Interactive Johari window, which you and your friends/family contribute to.Interactive Johari Window

I will put mine up after some of you have had a go! I don't mean tell me your results, just let me know you have tried it.

Also is there anyone brave enough to face the Nohari Window! what is it? i hear you ask? its the negative version of the Johari window.
Do you know your flaws? I will put the link up to it if you like?

  2. I'm going to try this. I want to do the negative aspect window as well.

    I'm always eager to see how well my perception of myself matches up with the "real" me.....this might help.

    ya' think?

  6. Claire, I didn't know how, but I went back, checked out the FAQ, and emailed it to eight people with the subject line "Am I a case of improper potty training?"

    For others the link to send to friends is:

  8. You're welcome, Claire. :-)

    Three replied, and here are the results.

    Arena (where they picked the same as I did)
    intelligent
    knowledgeable
    witty

    Facade (where I picked, but none of them did)
    caring
    independent
    self-assertive

    Blind Spot (there they picked and I didn't)
    accepting
    adaptable
    brave
    clever
    complex
    dependable
    giving
    helpful
    logical
    loving
    organized
    sympathetic

    The only problem I see with the johari window is its 5-6 choice limit. I think friends may have chosen "facade" items if they had more choices, and I know I would have chosen several "hidden" items had I more choices.

  9. I agree tomcat! i found this site when doing some homework research. Also i think a mix of positive and negative would be good. How hard do you think it would be to make my own interactive window?
    Cheers

  13. No i am not that computer literate! but thanks for the input.
    The choice limit does make it difficult when you look at the results now. Even i know your friendly and helpful!
