Quadrant
1
“THE
OPEN SELF”
Characteristics
apparent to me and to others
I am terribly small but I have a universe inside my head.
I tend to be creative. Many people see me doodling everywhere. I express the
things going on inside my head through writing and drawing. I am also dauntless
because I always expose myself to adventures and I often take risks. I agree
that sometimes I am boyish, as many people would say. Maybe because I don’t
dress up like the usual girls around and girly stuffs don’t really get me.
Also, maybe because of the environment I have at home. But I am a total girl at
heart. I could describe myself as a
jolly person and people can see that. I believe that there is always something
positive and fun in every situation I am in. I also agree when people say that
I am noisy, most especially when I am having fun. I am also into music. I
indulge myself into learning instruments and keeping a tune to myself. I am
also a reader, not because I don’t have a life as many people would say but
because I choose to have many. J

“THE
BLIND SELF”
Characteristics
not apparent to me
Being a thrill seeker, other people say that I am
flexible and versatile. They say I can adjust myself into different situations
and can adapt easily. It also made me smile knowing from other people that I am
well versed that is why I have many friends. Maybe because of the common
experiences I have with other people. They also say that my eyes always show my
mood and I get bored easily (maybe because I have a very short attention span,
and I always look for new things and new experiences). They say that I am scary
when I rant because I release all my emotion and I cry a lot, and I feel sorry
about that.

“THE
CONCEALED SELF”
Characteristics
known to me but kept hidden from others
Crowds and speeches, I
fear. I prefer writing down my thoughts than saying it verbally. I also love
reading people. I try not to assume, I can say that everybody changes and I
give them that space. But I don’t tolerate negative people. When it comes to my
faith, I can say that I am devoted. My faith is the most important thing I have
and it is something very personal to me. I am not a quiet person but people
don’t always see that a part of me is an introvert. I keep my thoughts inside
my head and when I speak, I make sure I will choose the right words to avoid
hurting others.
Quadrant 4
“The Unknown Self”
The Blind Area
The
things I and others don’t know about myself are often known in my unconscious
mind. The best situation that can define my unknown self is during my
slip-of-the-tongues where the unconscious part of me takes over and I don’t
have the control over them. During those times, I tend to be judgmental. I say
things that are not acceptable and pleasing to hear for others. At those times
too, I can also be arrogant. I have this tendency of feeling good about myself,
revealing an exaggerated sense of my own abilities and achievements without my
whole knowledge that I am actually saying them.
