Johari Window model

The Johari Window is a psychological tool to understand self-awareness and interpersonal relationships. It maps traits into four quadrants: Arena (known to self and others), Facade (known to self, hidden from others), Blind Spot (known to others, hidden from self), and Unknown (unknown to both). Increasing the Arena through disclosure and feedback improves self-knowledge and relationships.

  • ๐Ÿ‘ฅ The Johari Window was developed by psychologists Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingram in 1955.
  • ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ The Arena quadrant represents public information, like your name or profession.
  • ๐Ÿคซ The Facade (or Hidden) quadrant includes personal secrets, feelings, or information you choose to withhold.
  • ๐Ÿ™ˆ The Blind Spot is what others perceive about you that you are unaware of, like certain habits or personality traits.
  • โ“ The Unknown quadrant contains potential abilities or aspects of yourself you haven't discovered yet.
