Question 17

Johari Window

Answer 17

1. Open, or public, information is known both to us and to
   others. Your name, height, major, and tastes in music probably are open information that you share easily with others.
2. The blind area contains information that others know about
   us but we don’t know about ourselves. For example, others
   may see that we are insecure even though we think we’ve
   hidden that well. Others may also recognize needs or feelings that we haven’t acknowledged to ourselves.
3. Hidden information is what we know about ourselves but
   choose not to reveal to most others. You might not tell many
   people about your vulnerabilities or about traumas in your past
   because you consider this private information.
4. The unknown area is made up of information about ourselves that neither we nor others know. This consists of your
   untapped resources, your untried talents, and your reactions
   to experiences you’ve never had. You don’t know how you will manage a
   crisis until you’ve been in one, and you can’t tell what kind of parent you
   would be unless you’ve had a child.
