The document discusses self-identity and how people can understand themselves better through a model of four panes - open, blind, hidden, and unknown - which represent different levels of self-knowledge and knowledge others have of them. It then defines several components of self-identity, including self-concept, confidence, and self-esteem. Finally, it discusses the big five personality traits - openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism - and provides examples of each. The overall message is that understanding these dimensions can provide insight into oneself and one's relationships with others.

2. Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.
- Aristotle

4. THE MODEL CAN BE LOOKED UPON AS A
COMMUNICATION WINDOW THROUGH WHICH YOU
GIVE AND RECEIVE INFORMATION ABOUT YOURSELF
AND OTHERS.

5. The first pane -Open
(Things I know, Things theyknow)
The secondpane -Blind
(Things I don’t know, Things theyknow)
The third pane -Hidden
(Things I know, Things theydon’t know)
The fourthpane -Unknown
(Things I Don’t know, Things theydon’t know)

7. Refers to the global understanding a person has of
themselves.
Self Identity is composed of relatively permanent self-
assessments, such as personality attributes, knowledge of one’s
skills and abilities, one’s occupation and hobbies, and awareness
of one’s physical attributes.
The Self Identity is not restricted to the present. It includes past
selves and future selves.

8. A person's self-concept is his knowledge about himself.
Self-concept is simply the informational side of things,
where you know facts about what you are like.
They can be influenced not only by observing one's own self
and behavior objectively, but also by observing the
reactions that other people have to you and your behavior,
or imagining what other people might think of you, or what
you would think of yourself if you saw yourself from
outside.

9. Confidence is a pretty broad term and can be difficult to
define.
Confidence is a really personal thing that isn’t the same
for everyone.
Different people have different levels of confidence, but
there are some signs of a confident person which can give
insight into where confidence comes from.

10. The way you think about yourself and your
abilities or appearance.
one's conception of oneself or of one's role.

12. Openness suggests characteristics that include having
broad range of interests and willing to try out even most
unusual ideas. They are intellectually curious, sensitive to
beauty, and tend to hold unconventional beliefs.
FOR EXAMPLE : If a person is open to traveling new places
spontaneously, he can be considered open to new
experiences. Reverse, the person doesn't allow himself to
experience new things, and would rather occupy himself
with the every day schedule.
People with higher score on conscientiousness tend to
be self disciplined, dutiful and prefer planned
behavior to a spontaneous one.
FOR EXAMPLE : If a person is highly self disciplined,
say he always does his chores done right away, he
can be called conscientious. Reverse, the person
always procrastinates and tend to make a mess of
things.

13. People with high score on extraversion gain energy
when exposed to the external world. They tend to be
action-oriented, enthusiastic, visible to people, and are
capable of asserting themselves.
FOR EXAMPLE : A person with extraversion
characteristics loves going out and is generally life of the
parties. Reverse, Introverts have lower energy levels
when it comes to social engagement.
People with high score on this trait are trustworthy,
helpful, kind, considerate, generous and do not hesitate
to compromise their interests with others.
FOR EXAMPLE : A person who is agreeable doesn't mind
taking time out for other people. If a person takes time out of
his busy schedule at work to meet a friend for lunch, he is
agreeable. Reverse, such kind of people are not interested in
other people's problems.

14. The tendency to experience anger, depression, anxiety
and other forms of negative emotions are seen in people
with high score on neuroticism. It is also called emotional
instability. It is similar to being neurotic in the Freudian
sense. But, keep in mind that it doesn’t provide an
identical meaning.
FOR EXAMPLE : If a person easily loses his temper when he
doesn't get his order in time or there is too much sugar in
his coffee, such people have high score on
neuroticism. Reverse, such people are emotionally stable
and rarely feel sad.
