Introduction
The essay is a self-reflection and analysis of the feedback received from my friends,
against the theoretical model of Johari Window. This framework is a psychological tool
used to identify the factors associated with one’s personality, in a way that they can be
placed in one of the four quadrants, as indicated in the theory. These quadrants act as
the directed guidelines, which help to spot on personality traits and behaviors that are
known with open, blind, hidden and unknown types to either self or others (Oliver &
Duncan, 2019). The essay reflects on the observation, focusing at the broader scope of
cultural diversity and intelligence to become an ethically inclined global citizen.

From the results obtained with the self-awareness test, it came to my attention that
many and most of my behavioral traits can be successfully placed inside one of the four
quadrants. It not only established complete faith in the theoretical model, but also
helped me in identifying an unknown trait which did not uncover from the questions in
the survey. The newly identified trait is that I often do not believe in concepts alone, a
mathematical and self-experimented proof allows me to behold complete trust on
anything, in this case, the Johari Window framework.
The information obtained from the survey shared with my friends, who tend to know me
well, reflected a high score with self-awareness features like emotional impact on work
and performance, ability to handle situations in stress, positivity and emotional
intelligence quotient. They believe that I am mostly aware of my actions, I am
calculative in decision making and that I tend to show certain limitations, like anger
control, reaction management etc. In similar questionnaire most of my answers match
the one’s reported by my friends, therefore, I place the self-awareness factor into the
first quadrant, which is the Open Side.
The most contradiction in the survey was obtained from the relationship management
questions, where I was judged to be more result oriented and performance driven,
rather than being ethically correct and responsibility driven. I analyzed that I have the
