There various sources through which one can get information about self. They are:
- General information about behavior: In this method one gains a general knowledge about human behavior as how you should behave in a situation, etc.
- Informal feedback from people: In this method you get to know about your performance or behavior in a light and candid manner from friends and other people but not on professional level.
- Feedback from supervisors: Feedback from supervisors is generally formal. He/she will tell you about your performance. This is also called as performance evaluation.
- Feedback from coworkers: In this method coworkers or peers are asked to provide input about how they think of your performance.
- Feedback about self through self-analysis: This method mainly includes filling up questionnaires about yourself on your own and not given to you by anyone else. Such questionnaire helps you to know a lot of things about your behavior.
- Feedback through Johari Window: Johari Window is a model of communication. Through this window you get to know about yourself from all aspects i.e. the information known to self as well as others. The window consists of four areas namely open area, hidden area, blind area, and unknown area.
The most likely to be accurate method among the above is the Johari window. It gives an overall picture of a person. You get to know almost everything about yourself from both points of views i.e. self and others. This is not restricted to any one factor either self or other people like all other methods. All these advantages lead to it being the most accurate one as it gives a combined result and so is free from bias.
