The document describes the Johari Window model of human interaction and self-awareness. The model divides information about a person into four categories: the open self (known to self and others), the blind self (known to others but not self), the hidden self (known to self but not others), and the unknown self (unknown to both self and others). Understanding these four selves can provide insight into a person's self-awareness and how they interact with others. The goal is to increase the open self through communication and feedback that reveals more about one's blind spots and hidden qualities.

THE FOUR SELVES
Johari Window Model
• Johari Window Model was developed
by American psychologists Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham in 1955, hence the name Johari. Johari Window is generally used in Self-help groups in exercises which help a person to learn and discover things about themselves and enhance the individual’s perception on others. OPEN SELF
• The first pane in the window is referred
to as ‘open’ or ‘arena’. This quadrant represents the actions, behaviors and information that are known to the individual and those around them. This information is public and made available through communication and exchanges between the individual and others. This includes information, facts, skills and attitudes – anything that is public knowledge. BLIND SELF
• The second quadrant is referred
to as ‘blind’ or ‘blind spot’. Actions and behaviors in the blind area are known to others, but the individual is not aware of them. The information in the blind spot can be positive or negative and include hidden strengths or areas for improvement. UNKNOWN SELF
• The last window of information is referred
to as simply ‘unknown’. This includes information, skills, behaviors, etc. that are unknown to the individual and to others. This includes subconscious information that no one is aware of such as early childhood memories, undiscovered talents, etc. HIDDEN SELF
• The third pane is referred to as ‘hidden’ or
‘facade’. This information is known to the individual, but not known to anyone else. This may consist of private information, which the individual chooses to keep hidden. Feelings, ambitions, dreams and opinions may be withheld from the group by the individual out of fear of negative reaction. Once the individual trusts others they may choose to reveal some of their hidden information. Importance of the Four Selves • The Johari Window or the four selves help us to understand self-awareness and the human interaction that results from our personal self- awareness. The premise behind the window is that there are certain things which we know, and things we do not know about ourselves. THE END
