Original Mara's Johari Window

The Johari Window was invented by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in the 1950s as a model for mapping personality awareness. By describing yourself from a fixed list of adjectives, then asking your friends and colleagues to describe you from the same list, a grid of overlap and difference can be built up.

You are reading this page because Original Mara wants to know how you'd describe them - pick the five or six words from the list below that you think describe Original Mara the best. (You can set up your own Johari Window afterwards, if you like.)

Warning: If you're typing in URLs directly, this might not be the Original Mara you know, it could just be someone else who's used the name. Ask your Original Mara if this is their Johari Window.
