Peering through a window

Johari Window

Through the Johari Window, the traits of a person is further explored in relation to other people.

Jenica’s Johari Window

Unfortunately, I was absent during the time this was done in class. The above Johari window was made at home, where I asked my aunt (my guardian) to write down traits about me in less than a minute. The following writings done in black pen were by me.

It was delightful to hear that my aunt looked at me mostly on a positive light and described me with adjectives such as amiable and studious. She did me honest notes certain characteristics such as myself being a crybaby and trying to multitask often. These were not wrong, thus I did not cross it out. However, I did cross out mostly the extrovert features my aunt believed I possessed. I couldn’t really agree fully on some points because it only applies to certain people such as family and close friends.

The Johari Window changes according to how much the peers writing were able to know you. My aunt knows me pretty well, and I tend to open up more to her compared to my classmates. Through this activity, I was reminded of how much my personality was different depending on the people I am around. I tend to huddle with a small group of friends, but I think they would say something similar since I treat them like family.

Self

I tend to have differing attitudes because of past experiences with certain groups of people. I tend to be quieter when with my choir member group as I’m used to keeping a serious mood while in church. Similarly on the opposite side, I’m chatty when I’m with my close friends or family. In the end, it is all my choice to act how I want.
