These are steps 3-5. I have steps 1 & 2.’ which i will be sending to whom takes the work.
Remember that all 55 adjectives should be included in the grid, according to the instructions given.
Step Three: Make five more copies of the adjective list and label them: Family Member 1, Family Member 2, Friend 1, Friend 2 and Friend 3. Give each copy of the list of adjectives to the identified individuals. Ask them to circle any adjectives they feel describe you. Do not engage in any discussion of the list of adjectives. Simply ask participants to complete the list and return it to you.
Step Four: Use a grid similar to the ones in the second article to tally the results. In each quadrant write the adjective and the number of times it appeared on one of the lists. Be sure to tally all six lists (your own and the other five.)
Open: Adjectives identified by self and at least one other
Blind: Adjectives identified only by others, not by self
Hidden: Adjectives identified by self only, not by any others
Unknown: Adjectives identified not identified by anyone
Step Five: In a 1 to 1 1/2 page, double-spaced essay, compare and analyze the two grids. Be sure to focus on any unexpected or surprising results. Did this exercise “open the window” in any way? Can you identify personal miscommunication experiences that might have been a result of known vs. unknown information?
Submit a list of the names of the individuals who completed the forms, both grids and the essay in the appropriate drop box.
