Tangent: Extremes #2

Lynn said she'd like to see this in colour.
Here it is.

Of course the 'weasel' would say 'Bold, too bold!'

I wonder which one is better!

Tangent: Extremes (IF)

Having just posted an item about Johari's Window, and thought about the adjectives that desciribe me, I looked back at an old drawing I had done ages ago, and decided to post it for 'extremes' as it shows some of the extremes in my personality over the past 60 odd years!
Luckily I didn't reflect on Nohari's Window!
IF: Extreme

Forty-One: Find the Unknown

A Johari Window is a psychological tool to help people better understand their interpersonal communication and relationships.

When I did a 14 week course to enable me to answer the telephone at a crisis line centre, this was one of our exercises and it was fascinating.

You are given 55 adjectives from which you choose 5 or 6 that you feel describe your own personality.

People in your group are given the same list and choose the 5 or 6 they feel will describe you.

These adjectives are then placed into the 'arena' quadrant.

Adjectives that are selected by you, but not by the others in the group, go into the 'facade' quadrant.

Adjectives only selected by the others, not you, are placed in the 'blind spot' quadrant.

Of course, those not selected either by you or your peers remain in the 'unknown' quadrant.

This is either because they don't apply, or there is collectiove ignorance about their existence.

This is the quadrant I'd really like to find out about!

I looked at the 55 adjectives again, and these are the ones I chose to describe me:

able, intelligent, caring, bold, complex, friendly, giving, helpful, nervous, searching, wise.

(By the way, a Nohari Window is the inversion of this one, and is a collection of negative personality traits instead of positive.)

Tangent: Lesson #3

Am feeling a lot more positive after today's lesson.

I now know that my style is 'bold' and it probably won't change.

I'm actually okay with this.

The 'weasel' was nicer today to all of us, but that's because he wants us to fill in an evaluation form next week about him and the course.

Prick!!
