The Johari Window, named after the first names of its inventors, Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham, is one of the most useful models describing the process of human interaction. A four paned "window," as illustrated above, divides personal awareness into four different types, as represented by its four quadrants: open, hidden, blind, and unknown. The lines dividing the four panes are like window shades, which can move as an interaction progresses.

1. The "open" quadrant represents things that both I know about myself, and that you know about me.

2. The "blind" quadrant represents things that you know about me, but that I am unaware of.

3. The "hidden" quadrant represents things that I know about myself, that you do not know.

4. The "unknown" quadrant represents things that neither I know about myself, nor you know about me.

Was doing some thinking about relationships in the Church Council. Could this provide some 'help'? Might need to find some elucidation?
