    The Johari Window model classifies how people understand themselves and how they are perceived by others into four categories or "windows." It was developed in the 1950s to help understand interpersonal communication and self-awareness. The four categories are: the open area which is known to self and others; the blind spot which is known to others but not self; the hidden area known to self but not others; and the unknown which is unknown to both self and others. The model aims to increase the open area and decrease the other areas through feedback between individuals and groups.

    The Johari Window

    The Johari Window

    “Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more


    important than the judgment we pass on ourselves.
    That judgment impacts every moment and every
    aspect of our existence. Our self-evaluation is the
    basic context in which we act and react, choose our
    values, set our goals, meet the challenges that
    confront us. Our responses to events are shaped in
    part by whom and what we think we are – our self-
    esteem”.

    Nathaniel Branden (2004)


    The Johari Window

    Developed by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingram in the 1950’s,


    who recognized that effective learning is facilitated by good
    interpersonal communication…

    The Johari Window model focuses on the balance of these


    exchanges between parties. In particular, it is:
    Useful for improving self-awareness
    Useful for improving the mutual understanding between
    individuals within a group
    Useful for assessing and improving a group’s
    relationship with other groups

    The Johari Window model is especially relevant due to its


    emphasis on, and influence of behavior, empathy, cooperation,
    and intergroup and interpersonal development
    The Johari Window
    The Johari window classifies an individual’s
    relating to others according to four quadrants
    (or windowpanes).

    • Quadrant 1, the open quadrant


    • Quadrant 2, the blind quadrant
    • Quadrant 3, the hidden area
    • Quadrant 4, the area of the unknown
