Applied Sciences SPC 4445- Johari Window Assignment

  In this assignment, you will also write a 3-5 page analysis explaining your results, and follow the instructions on the first page. However, the way you complete the Johari Window will be a little different. 

Step 1: Go through the adjectives below and identify which ones are open- you are aware you showcase; hidden- you keep to yourself; Unknown- these are generally the ones you did not pick for any of the categories.

Step 2: Interview two to three people- the more you interview, the better your results. They should be people that know you. Give them the same list of adjectives below. Then:

Open, or Arena

Place adjectives that both you and your interviewees select go in this cell  (or quadrant) of the grid. These are traits that you and peers perceive.

Blind Spot

Here place the adjectives you did not select, but your interviewees did. These  represent what others perceive but the you do not.

Hidden, or Façade

In this quadrant, place the adjectives you selected, but not by any those that you  interviewed, go in this quadrant. These are things the those around you are either  unaware of, or that are untrue but for only your perception.

Unknown

The adjectives that neither you nor your interviewees selected go here. They  represent your  behaviors or motives that no one participating recognizes—either  because they do not apply or because of collective ignorance of these traits.

My Johari Window Results:

 Your Johari Window results indicate:

• Solicits Feedback: 35
  This means you are relatively open to receiving feedback from others. You likely seek input from peers, mentors, and colleagues to understand how others perceive you. Your openness suggests a desire for self-improvement and interpersonal awareness.
   
• Willingness to Self-Disclose/Gives Feedback: 16
  This lower score suggests that while you are receptive to feedback, you may not frequently share personal insights, emotions, or constructive feedback with others. You might be more reserved in discussing personal matters or hesitant to offer critiques to others.
   

Interpretation:

Your Johari Window likely has:

• A larger Blind Spot (things others see in you that you might not see yourself) since you actively solicit feedback.
• A smaller Open Area (what both you and others know about you) if you’re not frequently disclosing information about yourself.
• A larger Hidden Area (things you know about yourself but keep private).
• An Unknown Area that remains largely unexplored, though self-reflection and new experiences may uncover hidden traits.

If you’re writing an analysis on this, you should:

• Reference relevant theories (such as interpersonal communication models or self-awareness frameworks).
• Discuss how this affects your relationships (e.g., work, friendships, leadership).
• Suggest strategies to expand your Open Area, like sharing more about yourself or being more proactive in giving feedback to others.
