Johari window - wikipedia Johari window This article is about the cognitive psychology tool. For the Fringe episode, see Johari Window ( Fringe ). Johari window The Johari window is a technique that helps people better understand their relationship with themselves and others. It was created by psychologists Joseph Luft ( 1916 -- 2014 ) and Harrington Ingham ( 1916 -- 1995 ) in 1955, and is used primarily in self - help groups and corporate settings as a heuristic exercise. Luft and Ingham called their Johari Window model ' Johari ' after combining their first names, Joe and Harrington. Contents 1 Description 2 The four quadrants 3 Johari adjectives 4 Motivational equivalent 5 Therapy 6 See also 7 References 8 Further reading 9 External links Description In the exercise, subjects pick a number of adjectives from a list, choosing ones they feel describe their own personality. The subject 's peers then get the same list, and each picks an equal number of adjectives that describe the subject. These adjectives are then inserted into a two - by - two grid of four cells. The philosopher Charles Handy calls this concept the Johari House with four rooms. Room one is the part of ourselves that we and others see. Room two contains aspects that others see but we are unaware of. Room three is the private space we know but hide from others. Room four is the unconscious part of us that neither ourselves nor others see. The four quadrants Open, or Arena Adjectives that both the subject and peers select go in this cell ( or quadrant ) of the grid. These are traits that subject and peers perceive. Hidden, or Façade Adjectives selected by the subject, but not by any of their peers, go in this quadrant. These are things the peers are either unaware of, or that are untrue but for the subject 's claim. Blind Spot Adjectives not selected by subjects, but only by their peers go here. These represent what others perceive but the subject does not. Unknown Adjectives that neither subject nor peers selected go here. They represent subject 's behaviors or motives that no one participating recognizes -- either because they do not apply or because of collective ignorance of these traits. Johari adjectives A Johari window uses the following 56 adjectives as possible descriptions of the participant. able accepting adaptable bold brave calm caring cheerful clever complex confident dependable dignified empathetic energetic extroverted friendly giving happy helpful idealistic independent ingenious intelligent introverted kind knowledgeable logical loving mature modest nervous observant organized patient powerful proud quiet reflective relaxed religious responsive searching self - assertive self - conscious sensible sentimental shy silly spontaneous sympathetic tense trustworthy warm wise witty Motivational equivalent The concept of meta - emotions categorized by basic emotions offers the possibility of a meta - emotional window as a motivational counterpart to the meta - cognitive Johari window. Therapy One therapeutic target may be the expansion of the Open ( Arena ) square at the expense of both the Unknown square and the Blind Spot square, resulting in greater knowledge of oneself, while voluntary disclosure of Private square may result in greater interpersonal intimacy and friendship.
