[Ailist] theory/interviews

[Ron Smith]

Nice connection Christopher, Johari's window is a bit different in that you 
are exploring the areas of self awareness (google johari). I often use my 
tarp to go through a sequence using the four types based on MeyerBriggs 
(which is downstream of Jung) and then Johari and then the situational 
leadership model (4D's and 4S's). For fun I overlay the Adizes 4 types of 
leadership...just to show how some of these groups of Four have a lot of 
similarity and overlap. Can you tell me more about the statistics with kids 
idea...I am not with you yet?
