Johari Windows are fascinating. They help us understand what we know and don’t know about ourselves. Perhaps the first form of a 360 assessment. The Johari Window is a four quadrant diagram describing aspects of person known and unknown. On one axis is whether it is known or unknown and on the other access is who knows or doesn’t (self or others). So you end up with the following pairings: known by both self(you) and others; known by self(you) but not others; known by others by not by self (you); and not known by either self (you) or by others.
Doing a Johari Window can be quite revealing to oneself and to others who participate.
