Let's do the Johari Window thing. →[More:]It's the latest craze on LiveJournal, and there's now a thread about it on the blue, so why not continue the love by doing these for ourselves? Here's mine. Have at it!

Here's mine. I sent it out to friends, so I'm curious how it looks now.

Do any of us know each other well enough? Here's mine—I had a lot of trouble picking six.

I thought you could only let your real life friends fill those out! I sent mine to my 2 best friends and kinda left it at that.....

Let's do the Nohari thing.

Here's mine. It'll be interesting to see how the MeCha perception differs from the real-world perception. I'm much quieter and tamer in daily life, I'd say.

posted by Miko 16 February | 17:32

Actually, so am I, believe it or not.

posted by matildaben 16 February | 17:46

Mine. And I'm "doing" y'all. ;^)

my Nohari, have at it.

posted by jonmc 16 February | 18:05

Oh, what the heck. Here's mine.

posted by eamondaly 16 February | 18:09

My Nohari.

posted by kmellis 16 February | 18:12

Heh. There's clearly something to be observed about those who select Johari and those who select Nohari.

posted by eamondaly 16 February | 18:14

66% of people agree that matildaben is intelligent

posted by matildaben 16 February | 18:15

I don't really want to do someone else's Nohari.

posted by kmellis 16 February | 18:16

60% of people think that jonmc is knowledgable

well, that's nice.

posted by jonmc 16 February | 18:18

Here's mine. I tried to answer for "weekend Triode" and then "Triode at work" because I think I shift radically between the two as a function of stress.

posted by Triode 16 February | 18:21

Johari.
Nohari.

posted by orthogonality 16 February | 18:29

I'm up to 75% intelligent.

Ortho, you think I'm "nervous"? I'm curious where that came from.

posted by matildaben 16 February | 18:33

Triode, I'll do yours Monday, after I've met you.

posted by matildaben 16 February | 18:34

In the diligent sense. as when running a project, matildaben.

posted by orthogonality 16 February | 18:35

Hmm, we have anons using the nohari. I'm not sure that's kosher.

posted by orthogonality 16 February | 18:36

I don't like the Nohari - what if I can't find 5 words to describe someone's faults? Here's mine.

posted by iconomy 16 February | 18:46

I don't think i know very many of you well enough, but I did take a whack at the ones I figured I could form an opinion on. No way I am going near any noharis at this point.

Here's mine, in case anyone thinks they wanna take a shot.

posted by richat 16 February | 18:53

Here's me.

posted by SassHat 16 February | 19:00

Mine.

Jon, I forgot to add "witty" to yours, so just pretend I did.

posted by Specklet 16 February | 19:30

Do me! Do me!

posted by mudpuppie 16 February | 19:35

That's OK. I forgot to add 'scrumptious,' to yours.

oh, wait, that wasn't a choice. oh, well, it should be

posted by jonmc 16 February | 19:36

Jonmc, I did you Nohari, just wanted to let you know that I don't think any of the qualities I listed as negatives! :)

posted by SassHat 16 February | 19:37

Ok, here's my Nohari, to keep things fair.

Go nuts!

posted by SassHat 16 February | 19:41

100% think iconomy is warm. Now, that is high praise indeed.

posted by mudpuppie 16 February | 19:45

Heh, I keep looking for the "sexy muthafucker" button.

posted by Specklet 16 February | 19:45

I just exchanged with my best friend last night. I made the mistake of not picking intelligent.

I also flubbed on my own six words, in retrospect, so I wish I'd spent more time on this.

posted by stilicho 16 February | 19:45

100% think iconomy is warm.

*turns down the stove. serves iconomy over rigatoni*

Heh, I keep looking for the "sexy muthafucker" button.

flatterer. ;>

posted by jonmc 16 February | 19:47

Oh man, you people have got me all wrong. But hey, I like it.

posted by mudpuppie 16 February | 20:02

I am stunned by the fact that even 11% of you consider me 'relaxed.' Anyone who's ever met me in person will say (as my old friend Lou (RIP) put it) 'that boy's a nerve ending.'

posted by jonmc 16 February | 20:51

Johari. But I'm wary. It doesn't seem science-y, very.

(I picked warm for iconomy too before I even read thread, how funny.)

posted by melissa may 16 February | 21:29

I'm up to 81% for intelligent. Is all I am to you people just a big, hot, pulsating brain?

posted by matildaben 16 February | 22:04

This thread is cracking me up. :D

That said, there's no way I'd attempt this with people I don't know in real life.

An old high school friend of mine, who I'm only "kinda sorta" in touch with any more, sent me his jahari window two days before I saw it on MeFi... I wondered where the hell it came from. Livejournal is a breeding ground for this kind of thing, isn't it?

posted by BoringPostcards 16 February | 22:21

Huh, I only just saw this thread. Here's mine.

posted by gaspode 16 February | 22:38

By the way, the word sentimental: I mean it in the Tin Man* way, not in the Lifetime Movie for Women way.

*Remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.

(The Nohari window thing makes my face rust.)

posted by melissa may 16 February | 23:10

And the Nohari one? here's mine.

I'm sure y'all are less eager to comment on that one (I know I am for you all) but you can at least see what I think my failings are :D

posted by gaspode 17 February | 00:00

pode, darling, you have no negative traits that I've seen. Were Steve-o not such third degree mensch and you were single, I would start nibbling at your toenails and not stop until I got to your hairpns.

posted by jonmc 17 February | 00:03

Am I too late? Mine.

posted by cmonkey 17 February | 00:10

Heh. My wife didn't pick a single one of the adjectives I chose for myself! I chose three of hers.

posted by eamondaly 17 February | 00:12

Let's not mess with negative traits! I have plenty, but I could only find 3 of them on that list (and not the worst 3, either). I'd have to write a supplement.

posted by Miko 17 February | 00:14

Me.

posted by mygothlaundry 17 February | 00:27

nohari is even more fun!

posted by cmonkey 17 February | 00:51

Late to the game, but here I am.
