1.6 Developing your own Johari Window
As you have seen already, your Johari Window areas are not fixed. Their contents change and the window areas change in size as we learn new things about ourselves and when we get feedback from others. In the next section of Learning to learn you will draw your own Johari Window, based on your responses to the activities you have done earlier in the course.
Activity 6: Drawing your own Johari Window
Use a large sheet of paper to draw yourself a Johari Window diagram. It should look like Figure 7.
Enter your identified qualities, skills and knowledge into the open and hidden areas of your Johari Window diagram, as appropriate. (Remember that the hidden area contains information that you are aware of, but which you keep from others; for example, a lack of confidence in job interviews.)
If you studied You and your learning [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] , take a look back over your responses to the activities in that course, where you identified your qualities, skills and knowledge.
Comment
You should now put your initial Johari Window aside. However, if you think of any additional skills or qualities, you should add them to your Johari Window.
