Reflection about this experience
Usefulness of Johari window and challenges in self-disclosure
The Johari window has been very helpful as it helped me to understand all the different
aspects of my persona. I have been able to come across the four different areas of this model
which shows some of rye dominant traits that are present within my personality. I have learned
about all the different traits that fall in the four different areas

3ENGLISH
The open area
This is how the information that a person already knows about himself or herself. This set
of information is also known by others. This basically includes the skills, attitude, behavior and
the knowledge of the individual. I have been able to learn that I am of a calm and dependable
nature. This is also what my close friend s and colleagues feel about me. They always share
secrets and problems with me as they know that I would calmly listen to them. I am also of a
dependable nature and friends depend on me for help.
The blind spot
This area talks about information unknown to self but known to others. I have learned
that others think me to be cheerful. However, I have always identified myself as a very reserved
person who is of an introverted nature. However, as per my close friends, I can mingle with
people once I form a close bond with them.
Hidden Area
This part talks about the traits that are known to the individual but unknown to others do
not know. I have seen that others do not know about my caring and clever nature. As I usually
stay self-occupied and reserved others feel that I am selfish and proud. I do not talk to others and
I do not caré about other feelings. However, I know that I am quite soft-hearted. I do not exhibit
my feelings but deep down I cleverly take initiates to help others.
