Inverted Johari.

The Johari meme has been interesting. Apparently, I am many different things to different people. :)

Here's the inverted version, which is also interesting, albeit harder to make myself fill out for friends: "Nohari", with negative words. Still, I'd be curious to see what people think. Be anonymous if you'd prefer.

Yeah, I just saw this anti-Johari this morning. Neat.

Interesting. I find it much easier to describe myself than to describe other people negatively.

[stevie-stever.livejournal.com]

Ditto on that one for me. I even find myself trying to choose the negative words much more carefully than the positive, and by default I choose no more than the prescribed 5 words on the negative, while I'm having to argue between words in order to keep the number of positive words down on the Johari.

I'm making a blanket declaration that I will not complete the Nohari, partly because I feel really bad about it but also because on my screen it's too dark to read.

The more I see of the windows, the less I respect them. If there weren't so many synonyms, and perhaps a "percent of intensity" field for each choice (or even a comment field), it might be more accurate IMHO.

(sorry for making your grammar editor go buzzeep-- it's early morning for me!)

Because it gives me a chance to quote my favorite WW poem

The past and present wilt - I have fill'd them, emptied them.
And proceed to fill my next fold of the future.

Listener up there! what have you to confide to me?
Look in my face while I snuff the sidle of evening,
(Talk honestly, no one else hears you, and I stay only a minute
longer.)

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

I concentrate toward them that are nigh, I wait on the door-slab.

Who has done his day's work? Who will soonest be through with his supper?
Who wishes to walk with me?

Will you speak before I am gone? Will you prove already too late?

-- Walt Whitman, "Song of Myself," #51

Hmm! You posted to my Nohari but not Johari.

Huh? I did so post to your Johari. Maybe the server choked while I was doing it. I'll do again. :)
