responding to the windows

For those of you who have been participating in the johari/nohari window memes, I have a few questions. Just copy-paste your responses in a comment. Here's what I'm wondering:

What trait did people pick for you that you found the LEAST surprising, and why?
What trait did people pick for you that you found the MOST surprising, and why?
Did anyone pick a negative trait for you that you found hurtful?
Did anyone pick a positive trait for you that you felt unworthy of?
Do you think that by asking everyone to post anonymously you would have gotten different results? Why?
Do you think anyone answered simply because they had an axe to grind, and why?

I'll answer these questions for myself in a couple of days!

Comments

What trait did people pick for you that you found the LEAST surprising, and why?

~ That I am FRIENDLY ( Johari). Because I feel that I am pretty out there and friendly to everyone I meet.

~ That I am chaotic ( Nohari) I know I am upsidedown most days.

What trait did people pick for you that you found the MOST surprising, and why?

~ That I am NERVOUS & TENSE.( Johari) Not sure why they would think that.

~ That I am NEEDY. That came right out of left field.

Did anyone pick a negative trait for you that you found hurtful?

~ Yes it was UNETHICAL & IGNORANT. I am neither of those traits.

Did anyone pick a positive trait for you that you felt unworthy of?

~ MATURE. I am not that mature am I ? LOL!!

Do you think that by asking everyone to post anonymously you would have gotten different results? Why?

~ No I don't think so, but I found it cowardly that people mostly answered anonymously in the Nohari.

I didn't participate, mainly because I am so computer dense, I have no idea how to do the Johari or how to cut and paste. DOH!

"I think mainly because it's hard to know where someone is coming from when they choose a word."

You hit the nail on the head, my friend. The Johari Window is usually used for team-building and work-related type stuff, a very specific 'context' - but in the blogosphere or netland? Just a recipe for disaster lol

What trait did people pick for you that you found the LEAST surprising, and why? "searching, observant, reflective" because I also picked those words to describe myself.

What trait did people pick for you that you found the MOST surprising, and why? "dignified, organized, smug, cold" because I am not any of those and didn't think I presented myself to others in that way.

Did anyone pick a negative trait for you that you found hurtful? No. Somebody is going to think I will pick "cold" but for the last time.. I was not hurt by the word "cold". I was 100% positive it wasn't anyone in our blogging group because I was 100% positive everyone could see that I am the exact opposite.

I was creeped out because I was 100% positive it was that ugly dried up worm I've been complaining about. NOT HURT. CREEPED OUT. SHEESH. I thought I had explained myself quite well but obviously not.

Did anyone pick a positive trait for you that you felt unworthy of? No LOL

Do you think that by asking everyone to post anonymously you would have gotten different results? Why? Possibly.

Do you think anyone answered simply because they had an axe to grind, and why? Not now but as I said before I was sure El Creepo responded and would be the only one who could possibly have an axe to grind.

~friendly because I guess its true...but I have to admit I find the word friendly to be BORING...~

What trait did people pick for you that you found the MOST surprising, and why? ~mature....arhar har snort toot~

Did anyone pick a negative trait for you that you found hurtful? ~Didnt do it because I would be fired up and angry at everyone for being so mean LOL LOL~

Did anyone pick a positive trait for you that you felt unworthy of?
~no, I am a bit full of myself so I dont feel unworthy of anything ;)~

Do you think that by asking everyone to post anonymously you would have gotten different results?
~I do think this is true but I didnt ask anyone to be anonymous! It drives me crazy when I dont know who said it! BUT I do agree you would get a better more accurate result. Why?just cause its true. I also really think it should have positive and negative traits together and it should be anonoymous...but again it would make me nutso!~

Do you think anyone answered simply because they had an axe to grind, and why?
~no because I didnt do that one, unless someone picked friendly because they knew it was BORING...~
