360 Degree Feedback, Compare your Self Image with your Public Images

360 Degree Feedback, Compare your Self Image with your Public Images

Who am I? – A reality to discover.
An App for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, that will let you discover how other people see you. There are two versions of the App: Basic (up to 10 Other-Raters) and Pro (as many Other-Raters as you like).

Each of us sees oneself in a certain way, our so-called self-image. Others,
however, who know us from our social or professional environments, also
have certain perceptions about who we are and what we are like: our public image, so to speak.

With this App you can get feedback about these different viewpoints, based on 100 colloquial terms for personality traits and behavioral characteristics: Just rate yourself (once) and then have others rate you (up to 10 people in the Basic version, as many people as you like in the Pro version). The data are then computed to contrast one“s own perspective with that of others, comparing self-image and public images.

The App is based on a scientific principle called ‚360 degree-feedback‘, where 360 degrees refer to the fact that people from all around you give you feedback. This is an interesting aspect: Participants will rate you in how they know you, be it in work or social situations, while others may experience you largely in competitive gatherings.

Thus, when you look at the results, an interesting approach can be to check which traits are perceived by all other-raters and which ones are specific to only a particular person or group and how the individual other-ratings match your self-rating.

You can start by checking the deviations between your self-image and your public image:

Positive deviations come about when we receive positive feedback on
characteristics or behaviors which we view as positive, but which we did not think we possessed or others would attribute to us.

Negative deviations refer to the feedback on characteristics or behaviors that we do not agree with and may not like, and which we therefore blocked out from our self-image.

But also the concordant items can teach us something: i.e. which
characteristics we are perceiving realistically.

These positive and negative deviations („blind spots“) offer us a great
starting point to expand, stabilize or correct our own self image to one that is more in sync with reality. Wherever the results deviate from, or match your self-rating, you will find that some interesting details emerge.

Whether or not you will want to change your self-image and your behavior is entirely up to you. For many users, 360 degree-feedbacks have initiated
positive change processes, and many also report constructive experiences
concerning the further development of their own personality.
