This is the art I loved doing. It has elements of our inner world and how best we can interact with outside circle.
The Johari Window is a psychological framework that helps individuals understand themselves and improve their relationships with others. Developed by psychologists Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in 1955, this model uses a simple 2x2 grid to represent aspects of self-awareness and mutual understanding. It is often used in counseling, team-building, and self-improvement exercises.
The Four Quadrants
-
Open Area (Arena):
This quadrant represents information about yourself that is known both to you and to others. Examples include your strengths, behaviors, or preferences that you openly share. Expanding this area enhances trust and communication. -
Blind Spot:
Here lies information about you that others see but you are unaware of. It may include habits or traits you don’t recognize in yourself. Feedback from others can reduce this area and help with personal growth. -
Hidden Area (Façade):
This quadrant includes things you know about yourself but choose not to reveal to others, such as private thoughts, fears, or insecurities. Sharing these selectively can foster deeper connections. -
Unknown Area:
This contains information unknown to both you and others—hidden potential, subconscious behaviors, or undiscovered talents. Exploration through introspection or new experiences can bring elements of this area to light.
The Johari Window is dynamic; the quadrants shift in size based on self-disclosure, feedback, and self-discovery. It's a practical tool for enhancing self-awareness, empathy, and communication, particularly in personal development or team settings.
As you uncover and diminish the last three quarters, the open arena will expand. That is a desirable situation.
