Simple Tricks and Nonsense

Continuing this afternoon's quest to ignore the deepening stack of material in my inbox, here's something I found on Scalzi's AOL Journal: an interactive Johari window. This is an Internet version of a '50s-vintage psychological model used for mapping personality awareness. It works by having the test subject -- that would be me, in this case -- choose from a pre-determined list five or six words that he or she feels describes them best, then asking other people to describe the subject from the same list. Fun awaits as you compare and contrast the answers to see the difference between how the subject sees themselves versus how everyone else sees them. Since I naturally want to be just like Scalzi, I've followed his example and set up my own Johari window. Assuming my three loyal readers go through with this, I'll post the results in a few days. Here's the link:

Have fun, kids...
