Introduction
The concept of Johari windows is used to enhance the understanding of the person about others. This model is based on two ideas: trust can be gained through knowledge and feedback on others about you. Each individual has four quadrants or window panels to represent the Johari model. Each window shows personal information, feelings, motivation and, from four points of view, whether this information is known or unknown to yourself or others.
This paradigm interprets the approach of communicating and recognition feedback. A Johari is shown as a common four-panel window. Two of these panes are the self and the other two are the unknown component of themselves but of others. Information is transferred from one pane to the next because of mutual trust and feedback from the other group members can be obtained through socialization.
- Open Area or Arena
All communication takes place in this arena by means of a two-way process. So that the participant socializes with others and provides input regularly from the other members of the group. It results in a more successful group, with a highly dynamic interaction in this group.
2. Blindspot or BlindSelf
Blindspot is the place where some of the characteristic knowledge is identified but you are not sure of it.
3. Hidden Area or Hidden Self
The details you conceal from others is the hidden area. There, you know the detail, but other information is not understood.
4. Unknown Areas or Unknown Self
In this area, the information is unknown to you as well as the others. Generally, certain feelings, talents, information, etc fall in this area.
Analysis from Johari Table
The above Johari tables are completed with my friends Nigel and Marcus who are also my classmates in same course. I think 80% of the attribute listed are correct, for example Marcus think that I am a quiet person which is true because I am not a very talkative person and usually I will keep quite in the class room or during some conversation. Nigel thinks that I am a calm person as I am not nurvous to some thing even if it’s deadline is approching, the reason is because I think nurvous can not resolve the problems so that I often try to find the correct way rather than just being nurvous.
However, there are some attributes that I did not expecte in blind spot area. Marcus think that I am a introverted person. I think is because I am quiet and not talk very often. But actually I am a quite outgoing person in outside of the school which aslo proved in Nigel’s point, Nigel think I am a extroverted person in blind spot are.
How Johari model will help the communication in team?
The Johari Window outcomes help us to understand how other people perceive us, how we portray ourselves and how well we know ourselves. The findings will affect what happens in our lives because of our consciousness of ourselves and our consciousness of ourselves. The members of a team can first know about what the features are and can then change the way they work together to make sure there is no flaw in the process. By comparison to others with few open areas, it’s harder for them to get along with their leaders. They’re difficult to communicate with and they’re not running well. As for myself, It helps me to know my strength and weakness that I can strengthen in myself to interact more efficiently and effectively with you and others. I am more comfortable with my surroundings and how my conduct can change their opinions about myself and can work towards a better understanding and interaction with other people and groups.

Hi Shijie!
After I finished read your blog post, I like your blog post about the Johari window. The explanation of your Johari window model are easy to understand and simple. First, I agree about the Johari window can help people to understand in their own value. Secondly, I totally agree about the members of team must at least know about their features or personality to work together with their new leader and other members. Because when one of their members is not telling about their own strength and weakness, it can be affect the performance to communicate or working together to other members and their leader.

Hey Shijie! thanks for your post and I think your detailed explanation is great as it explains the Johari window well. It is also nice to see how your friends can portray you well and you mostly agree with two of your friends. Not only that but also your public section of Johari window is full of positive words which is also good to know about yourself and for others to know. It would be great advantage for you when you are dealing with other people.
Something to improve your posts is maybe to proofread your posts as there are quite number of typo errors and grammatical errors. Aside from that, your post is awesome and hope to read from you more.

Hi Shijie, really nice great explanation on the Johari Window model. It was really easy to read because of how you simplified the different parts. It was interesting to read how you perceived yourself compared to others, and how easily you could tell why each friend put what on each table. I agree with you that this model help us to identify our own strength and weaknesses, as well as what we should work on to be a better person and team member. Overall, a really great post but you could work on spell checking next time. Hope to read another of your post soon!
