What do the different areas mean?
1. Open
The open window lies in the top left-hand corner. The qualities in the open window are shared between our own self-conception and the way our peers see us.
2. Hidden
What we think or feel about ourselves that has gone unnoticed by others lies in the hidden corner. These qualities lie in the bottom left.
3. Blind Spots
In the top-right corner lies the blind spot. The qualities listed here form part of the way that our peers see us, but weren’t part of our own inventory.
4. Unknown
There is always an unconscious aspect to ourselves that neither us nor those around us is capable of realizing. These qualities are placed in the bottom right corner.
