Johari Window

Recently, people have been creating their own Johari Window... where you give your friends a list of words to describe you..

As taken from Wikipedia :
A Johari window is a metaphorical tool intended to help people better understand their interpersonal communication and relationships. It is used primarily in self-help groups and corporate settings as a heuristic exercise.

Terms selected only by the participant, but not by any of their peers, are placed into the Façade quadrant, representing information about the participant of which their peers are unaware. It is then up to the participant whether or not to disclose this information.

Terms that are not selected by the participant but only by their peers are placed into the Blind Spot quadrant. These represent information of which the participant is not aware, but others are, and they can decide whether and how to inform the individual about these "blind spots".

Terms which were not selected by either the participant or their peers remain in the Unknown quadrant, representing the participant's behaviors or motives which were not recognized by anyone participating. This may be because they do not apply, or because there is collective ignorance of the existence of that trait.

The list of words are as follow :
able accepting adaptable
bold brave
calm caring cheerful clever complex confident
dependable dignified
energetic extroverted
friendly
giving
happy helpful
idealistic independent ingenious intelligent introverted
kind knowledgeable
logical loving
mature modest
nervous
observant organised
patient powerful proud
quiet
reflective relaxed religious responsive
searching self-assertive self-conscious sensible sentimental shy silly spontaneous sympathetic
tense trustworthy
warm wise witty

I created one Johari Window too.. but is only to see how it gets created. I find the words limited... and I find it hard to describe myself just to get the window created too... Sighz, think I'm still lost. Maybe I should email all my friends to describe me, and find myself back? But can that really find out who I really am..
