JOHARI WINDOIW
Devised by American psychologists Joseph Luft
and Harry Ingham in 1955 while researching
group dynamics at the University of California
Los Angeles (UCLA), its odd name is an amusing
contraction of their first names: Joe + Harry =
Johari.
Luft and Ingham called their Johari Window
model 'Johari' after combining their first names,
Joe and Harry. In early publications, the word
appears as 'JoHari'. The Johari Window soon
became a widely used model for understanding
and training self-awareness, personal
development, communication, interpersonal
relationships, group dynamics, team
development and inter-group relationships.
The Johari Window is split into four
quadrants: the Open Area (things you
know about yourself), the Blind Area
(things you don't know about yourself, but
others do), the Hidden Area (things you
know about yourself, but keep hidden), and
the Unknown Area (things that are
unknown to you and to others).
LOOK INTO A MIRROR
What do you see? Do you
see your ideal self or your
actual self?
Your ideal self is the self that
you aspire to be. It is the one
that you hope will possess
characteristics similar to that of
a mentor or some otherworldly
figure.
Your actual self, however,
is the one that you see. It
is the self that has
characteristics that you
were nurtured or, in some
cases, born to have.
The actual self is built on self-knowledge.
Self-knowledge is derived from social
interactions that provide insight into how others
react to you.
The actual self is who we actually are.
It is how we think, how we feel, look, and act.
The actual self can be seen by others, but
because we have no way of truly knowing how
others view us, the actual self is our self-image.
The ideal self, on the other hand, is how we
want to be.
It is an idealized image that we have
developed over time, based on what we
have learned and experienced.
The ideal self could include components of
what our parents have taught us, what we
admire in others, what our society promotes,
and what we think is in our best interest.
 There is negotiation that exists between the two selves which
is complex because there are numerous exchanges between
the ideal and actual self.
 These exchanges are exemplified in social roles that are
adjusted and readjusted and are derived from outcomes of
social interactions from infant to adult development.
 Alignment is important. If the way that I am (the actual self)
is aligned with the way that I want to be (the ideal self), then
I will feel a sense of mental well-being or peace of mind. If
the way that I am is not aligned with how I want to be, the
incongruence, or lack of alignment, will result in mental
distress or anxiety.
WHY IS KNOWING THE
SELF SO IMPORTANT?
IT COULD HELP PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND THEIR
STRENGTH AND WEAKNESSES
AND LEAD TO MORE
FRUITFUL AND MEANINGFUL
LIFE.
TO ANSWER WHO WE ARE,
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND
THE CONCEPT OF
PERSONALITY
WHAT IS
PERSONALITY?
Personality has many definitions. It
is a pattern of relatively permanent
traits and unique characteristics that
give both consistency and
individuality to a person’s behavior
(Feist, Feist & Roberts, 2013 citing
Roberts and Mroczek 2008)
By distinctive, personality features
differentiate persons from one another.
Personality is the set of psychological traits
and mechanisms within the individual that
are organized and relatively enduring and
that influence his or her interactions with,
and adaptations to the intrapsychic, physical,
and social environment.
PERSONALITY HAS ALSO BEEN
RECOGNIZED AS INFLUENTIAL
IN ONE’S INTERACTIONS WITH
THE ENVIRONMENT. THIS
MEANS PERSONALITY AFFECTS
MANY ASPECTS OF LIFE.
EXAMPLE:
THE OPTIMIST SEES THE GLASS AS HALF FULL
WHILE THE PESSIMIST SEES IT AS HALF EMPTY.
*THIS SHOWS HOW PERSONALITY ALSO

INFLUENCES THE WAY ONE FEELS, AND HOW
ONE SELECTS THE SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTS,
GOALS, AND REACTIONS.
ORIGINS OR PERSONALITY:
NATURE VS. NURTURE
So, if people have different personalities and these determine how
people think and behave, where does personality come from?
Do people inherit their personality from their parents? Or do people

learn it from environment?
Nature-inherited
Nurture- environment
CLASSROOM ACTIVITY
I like you
because.. But...
INSTRUCTION
A.You will receive a piece of letter-size colored
paper, which you will fold into half (lengthwise
while holding it in a landscape mode; like a
booklet) write your name at the very top center
portion of the paper. Then, write “ I like you
because… on the left side, and “But.. .” on the
right side.
 The ground rules for the activity are as follows: in
expressing your thoughts and feelings, WRITE TO
ANOTHER WITH RESPECT. Name-calling, accusations,
verbal attacks, sarcasm, and other degrading exchanges
will not be tolerated. Learning about yourself is both
sharing different views and actively listening to those with
different views. You are expected to do both. Consider
anything that is said in class is strictly confidential. Be as
honest and as authentic as you can. When ready, sit in a
circle and pass the paper to the right. By this time, you
are holding the paper belonging to your classmate.
You will have to complete the sentence, “ I like you because
_____________________ but, ______________________.”
You are free to write your comments. You may identify
yourself or keep your identity anonymous. You have 40
seconds to one minute to write for each classmate. You will
keep passing the paper around until each sheet gets back to
its owner. When finished, quietly read your paper. Encircle
the comments that you agree with and box those that you
disagree with. It is important that you do not share the
comments you receive, at least for now, so you can focus on
evaluating yourself. Notice what thoughts and feeling are
you experiencing.
DISCUSSION QUESTION
1. How was the experience for you? What was the most
difficult thing about the activity?
2. How does it feel to give both positive and negative remarks
from your peers?
3. how does it feel to receive both positive and negative
remarks from your peers?
4. among the comments that you encircled (those that you
agree with), what do you most appreciate?
5. among the comments that you box (those that you
disagree with), what was the hardest to accept?
THANK YOU FOR
