Interactive Johari Window: a look at your personality

16 February 2006 No Comment


Many of you who are regular reader’s here at Trying to Follow also regularly read my Xanga, so this might be a repeat for you. This little personality survey has proven to be very popular amongst my friends, so I thought I would pass it on to folks here.

From the website:

The Johari Window was invented by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingram in the 1950s as a model for mapping personality awareness. By describing yourself from a fixed list of adjectives, then asking your friends and colleagues to describe you from the same list, a grid of overlap and difference can be built up.

Basically it’s a neat opportunity to seem some of the character traits that others sort of define you by. I found it to be an interesting and insightful thing to do and I thought you might like it as well.

Here is my Johari Window for you to view. And if you know me please add your describing words too.
