A) blind
B) unknown
C) hidden
D) open

The Johari window is a model for understanding self-disclosure and interpersonal communication. It consists of four quadrants: open, hidden, blind, and unknown. The open area represents things that both the individual and others are aware of, while the hidden area represents things that only the individual knows. The blind area represents things that others know about the individual, but they are not aware of themselves. Lastly, the unknown area represents things that neither the individual nor others are aware of. Since Joe is sharing intimate details about his personal life to anyone who will listen to him, it is safe to assume that he is opening up and revealing things about himself to others, indicating a relatively large open area.
