Comparison of the result obtained by me and my peers
The Johari Window is defined as the technique which helps individuals to obtain a better
understanding of their relationship with themselves as well as others. In the Johari window,
subjects pick a number of adjectives from a list, choosing ones they feel describe their own
personality (Mayer, Caruso and Salovey 2016). The subject's peers then get the same list, and
each picks an equal number of adjectives that describe the subject. When it comes to my test
with the help of the mentioned tool, I have tested my emotional intelligence with the help of my
peers. The term emotional indulgence is defined as the capability of an individual to recognize
his or her own emotions as well as the emotions of other. Emotional intelligence is highly crucial
in order to enhance as well as maintain the quality of both professional as well as personal life.
In order to compare the result obtained by me as well as my peers when it comes to my
emotional intelligence, I have used the four quadrants of the Johari Window.
1. Open Space: This is about the behavior of mine that is already known to others. When it
comes to my emotional intelligence, both of my peers agreed to the fact that my level of
emotional intelligence is satisfactory. As an individual I also agree to the fact. According
to the score card of both of us, I possess god relationship with some of my colleges while
it becomes difficult for me to work with some of them and vise versa. Both of my peers
agreed to the fact that I lack self management capability.
2. Blind Spot: The blind spot refers to behaviors that my peers have evidenced while I have
not. When it comes to my emotional intelligence, according to one of my peers I need to
work on myself awareness. According to them I need to develop my ability to read as

well as understand my emotion as well as recognize their impact on my performance and
relationship. Though I am not aware of this behavior of mine, I will definitely try to
assess this issue and rectify the same in near future.
3. Hidden Areas: The hidden area in the Johari Window signifies those behavioral qualities
of mine that my peers are not aware of. According to the test given by me, I possess
effective amount of social awareness. The chief three components of social awareness
include empathy, organizational awareness as well as service orientation (Sánchez-
Álvarez, Extremera and Fernández-Berrocal 2016). As an employee in the previous
organization I have worked in, I have been awarded 2 times for being highly service
oriented. Service orientation refers to recognizing as well as meeting the needs of the
consumers. Since I am new in this organization, I feel this aspect of my character is
hidden from my peers.
4. Unknown Area: As an individual I am still not fully aware of my skills when it comes to
conflict management and influencing other individuals. From the results of the test given
by my peers, I assessed that they also are unable to assess the same.

My strengths are weaknesses
In order to develop effective behavioural qualities it is highly crucial for an individual to
identify and analyse his or her own strengths and weakness. Identification of strengths helps an
individual to develop self confidence and self awareness. On the other hand identification of
weaknesses enhances the potential of an individual to understand the loopholes in his character
and eliminate the same to enhance his emotional intelligence.
