Which term refers to a framework of self-perception including four aspects such as Known Self and Unknown Self?

• A. Johari Window
• B. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
• C. Erikson's Stages
• D. Gordon Allport's Traits

Answer: (A)

Understanding self-perception in a structured way, this model divides what you know about yourself and what others know about you into four areas: what you and others know (open), what others know about you that you don’t know (blind), what you know about yourself that others don’t (hidden), and what neither you nor others know yet (unknown). This framework is the Johari Window. It helps people grow self-awareness and improve communication by encouraging feedback and greater disclosure, so the open area can expand while the blind and hidden areas shrink. The other options describe different ideas: the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator focuses on personality type preferences; Erikson's stages map psychosocial development across the life span; Gordon Allport's traits describe stable personality traits. The Johari Window is distinct in explicitly linking self-perception to how others perceive you across four quadrants.
