All of you might be well aware of the concept of Johari Window. To brief who are new to it, it involves a window divided into four areas - known to self, not known to self, known to others and not known to others, the idea behind is to discover what characteristics/personalities best describe the participant.
I knew that personalized Johari windows are available online and one can find out their own personality types by inviting friends to choose 5-6 adjectives that describe them, however never tried doing it! Recently, one of my friends sent me a link to point out the adjectives most suited to her. I did point out.. Found this exercise to be simple and funny and hence decided to make my own window!
Now before reading further, I would request you all to choose the words best describing me!! Also this exercise is important in order to understand the rest of my post!

Though Johari makes use of positive words, while making my window I came across Nohari window. This is where the actual fun starts. Exactly opposite to Johari, it makes use of negative words and points out your weaknesses.
So, did I participate in his window?
Yes, of course I did!
I don’t want my friends to point out only the good words for me! Though the top five negative attributes that anyone will choose wont accurately describe who I really am but atleast would give me an idea of how people perceive me!
I have tried this with few of my other friends; though the responses actually disappointed me.. I never knew this is what they think of me! But the fact that they took this test gives me the notion that they care - whether a lot or a little; and do have the guts to point out the points where I lack!
I don’t know how many people are aware of this window. So thought of discussing with all… These windows can be created by anyone within 5 minutes.. So start clicking in order to know yourself better… But before that, don’t forget to point out my weaknesses by clicking on the link below...
