Accepted Answer

The nervous habit of tapping a pencil is something that others may notice about a person, but the person themselves may not be aware of it. This fits into the blind area of the Johari Window, which represents things that are known to others but unknown to oneself.

Question 2

Trust is composed of five elements.Which of the following form a part of those elements?

Accepted Answer

The five elements of trust are competence, consistency, integrity, loyalty, and openness. Option C includes two of these elements, competence and consistency. Option A includes integrity, but "over commitment" does not fit into any of the five elements of trust. Option B includes self-description and self-flattery, which are not part of the five elements of trust. Option D includes openness, but self-description is not an element of trust.

Question 3

As we receive feedback from others on their observations of our personalities and behaviors,the _____ area of the Johari Window will decrease and the _____ area of the Johari Window will become more complete.

Accepted Answer

In the Johari Window model, the open area represents information that is known to both ourselves and others, while the blind area represents information that is unknown to ourselves but known to others. As we receive feedback from others, the blind area decreases, as we become aware of aspects of ourselves that we were previously unaware of. At the same time, this feedback helps to expand the open area, as we share more of ourselves with others and become more self-aware. Therefore, choice A is the best answer, as it correctly identifies the areas that will be impacted by feedback from others.

Question 4

The larger the _____ area of the Johari Window,the more productive and mutually beneficial the interpersonal relationship is likely to be.

Waiting until a news is old may lead to a lack of interest or relevance, while sharing only past feelings may not allow for the development of a deeper emotional connection. Revealing innermost dreams and fears to a boss on the first day of a new job may not be appropriate given the context and relationship. Thus, option B is the best choice.
