This little exercise is fascinating – I’ve picked six words that describe the way I see myself (too bad “Slightly Neurotic” wasn’t one of them and “nervous” was too specific) and now it’s up to you, friends and Internet strangers, to pick six that you think describe me, and we see how well we agree.
One disclaimer, though, if you pick “happy”, I will mock you. Happy is never an adjective that I think should be applied to personality – only to mood or periods of life. A person described as having a happy personality is really just someone with a cheerful attitude and a good grip on their personal baggage. Happy! Pah! Who’s happy?
Fire away, and if you make your own Johari, leave the link in my comments. I’d love to see it!

I think it’s hilarious that nearly half of you picked “witty” for me, which is the most picked thing that I DIDN’T pick. I think it speaks to the fact that I might be wittier on this blog than I necessarily think of myself as being in person.
Also, anonymous person who called me nervous, tense, and self-conscious … sheesh, dude!
Here’s how I described me:
able
idealistic
nervous
self-conscious
silly
tense
Here’s my jihari thingy:

that’s really neat. of course, we who don’t know you in real life can only respond based on your “blog persona.” i think “loving” ranked as a high adjective for you.
p.s. i might do this on my own blog. i wonder how many people would describe me as religious? ha ha.
Krissa-
I really enjoyed your blog. I’m always looking for new books so I’ll use your reviews for guidance. Oh, and I set up my own Johari. Check it out if you get a chance!
