The Johari Window adjective picker

Also called the Johari Window test. It maps how you see yourself against how others see you, across four rooms, using the framework Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham published in 1955.

How it works

Pick your own adjectives

Choose the adjectives you believe describe you. Be honest. There are no wrong answers.

Send the link to peers

Copy your link and send it to friends, family or colleagues. They pick the adjectives they see in you.

Read your four rooms

Adjectives sort into four rooms based on the overlap between your picks and theirs.

Sit with the Blind Spot

What peers see and you do not is the room worth the most attention. It names work you cannot do alone.

The four rooms

Arena

You and a peer both picked these. Your known, public strengths.

Mask

You picked these, a peer did not. What you know about yourself but keep back.

Blind Spot

A peer picked these, you did not. Traits others read in you that you cannot see.

Shadow

Neither of you picked these. The part of the list still unexamined.
