Johari Window
Overview
Joseph Luft & Harrington Ingham (1955): all knowledge about a person (or project, or codebase) splits on two axes — known/unknown to self × known/unknown to others — giving four quadrants:
| Known to self | Unknown to self | |
|---|---|---|
| Known to others | Open (Arena) | Blind Spot |
| Unknown to others | Hidden (Façade) | Unknown |
The Blind quadrant can only shrink one way: feedback from others. No amount of introspection moves it. The Unknown quadrant shrinks only through new shared experience (trying things neither party has seen).
When to Use
- Self-assessments: "am I good at X", "is my code readable", "is this design clear"
- Team friction where each side is confident the other is the problem
- Any confidence about how one's work lands with others, formed without asking others
