This version of the Johari Window has better labels, I think (Open, Blind, Hidden, and Unknown, avoiding the judgemental-sounding "Facade"), but the main problem is being restricted to so few attributes. That can be useful, I suppose, in forcing you to decide which descriptions are more important, but falls down in falsely excluding valid characteristics.

I also had to narrow down from a longer list. I chose dependable as I figured trustworthy fit into that. I also have trouble with the description "Facade" because I do think those describe Jon, they just weren't in my top 6.

Well, that was sort of fun. I selected a dozen characteristics before narrowing them down to six. Although Peter and I had no intersections at all, I could easily have picked what he did, plus more. So much depends on context. I certainly could have said "intelligent" but chose the more-inclusive "able." And though I chose "tense" because I see that aspect of your personality and think it's important (as is the fact that you fight it), I could also have picked "relaxed" because you are more relaxed in your reactions than most people. As you can guess, I'm always frustrated with surveys that don't give me a chance to include a long-winded explanation. :)
