MODULE 3: UNDERSTANDING THE SELF AND OTHERS
The Basic Johari Window The Public Self Is the part of ourselves that we are happy to share with others and discuss openly. The Private Self There are often parts of us that are too private to share with others. The Blind Self We often assume that the public and private selves are all that we are. The Undiscovered Self Neither us or nor other people see.
Looking For Another Person a Whole Four personas Associated with the Johari Window, we can define four different personas, based on which 'self' is the largest for everyone. The Open Persona Someone with an open persona is both very self-aware (with a small blind self) and is quite happy to expose their self to others (a small private self). The Naive Persona The Naive person has a large Blind Self that others can see. The Secret Persona When a person has a large Private Self, they may appear distant and secretive to others. The Mysterious Persona Sometimes people are a mystery to themselves as well as to other people. They act in strange ways and do not notice it. The Johari Test The Johari Window can be used to facilitate an exercise in self-discovery.
- Those words which you have chosen, and which others have also chosen indicate your Public Self.
- Those they choose that surprise you may be aspects of your Blind Self.
- Those you choose that surprise them may be aspects of your Private Self.
- Words that nobody chose but which oddly attract you could be indicators of the Undiscovered Self. Self-assessment: is the first step of the life planning process. Types: Self-driven An assessment is classified as self-driven if it does not require a licensed trained professional to interpret the results for you Professional Interpretation An assessment of this nature requires a person licensed or trained in the tool so you can understand what the data is saying. Interests • the things you enjoy doing - Interest inventories are the most frequently, of all the instruments, used in career planning - Early research revealed that people in the same career (and satisfied in that career) had similar interests. John Holland, and others, provided a system of matching interests with one or more of six types: realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional (RIASEC) Values * Values focus on what an individual feels are the most importance aspects of life. - Every person has values set that needs to be reflected in life for it to be fulfilling and rewarding. Skills • A skill is defined as the ability to perform an activity proficiently. The skill can be acquired through education, through work experience and job training, or it can be the result of an ability that you have had for years. - When deciding what field to enter, you need to determine the skills you possess. You should look at what you're good at, as well as, what you enjoy doing.
