NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D • A four paned "window, " dividing 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. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk

NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D • Known to Self • Known to Others • Not Known to Others Not Known to Self OPEN BLIND HIDDEN UNKNOWN www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk

Open NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D • 1. The "open" quadrant represents things that both I know about myself, and that you know about me www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk

Blind NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D • 2. The "blind" quadrant represents things that you know about me, but that I am unaware of www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk

Hidden NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D • 3. The "hidden" quadrant represents things that I know about myself, that you do not know www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk

Unknown NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D • 4. The "unknown" quadrant represents things that neither I know about myself, nor you know about me www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk

NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D • One way of enlarging the open quadrant is through self-disclosure, • A give and take process between me and the people I interact with. • As I share something about myself (I move information from my hidden quadrant into the open) www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk

NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Open Blind Self Disclosure Hidden Unknown www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk

NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D • If the other party is interested in getting to know me, they will reciprocate, by similarly disclosing information in their hidden quadrant www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk

NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D • We also gain knowledge about ourselves by receiving feedback from others this enables me to learn more about aspect of myself that I am unaware of and therefore moving information from my BLIND quadrant into the OPEN. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk

NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D • As I share more and gain more information about myself I begin to gain insights through introspection about aspects of myself that both I and others were unaware of, things like impulses that drive us, motives and instincts, those less tangible things that we just accept but haven’t given much thought to. These insights help move information from the unknown quadrant into the OPEN www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
