“The first thing you have to know is yourself. A man who knows himself can step outside himself and watch his own reactions like an observer.” ― Adam Smith, The Money Game

What if all this knowledge is biased?

I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do. In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know.

- Socrates

Who are you then – where is your identity? Let’s see what we have done together...

What others think about

me?

What am I, what I do because of my beliefs and values?

YOUR-SELF

What should I be or do

because of others?

Have you ever met someone for a first time and he / she told you more about yourself than you’d known?

The Zodiac game

We asked you to choose one of 12 given personality descriptions – you didn’t know that they are Zodiac.

Then you chose whether you strongly agree or rather agree with that identity.

Then we unrevealed to you that these descriptions are related to Zodiac signs.

You could choose: strongly agree, rather agree or ‘I am not there’ depending on how much you agree with a particular description.

Let’s reveal the Zodiac game truth!

The chance to find your sign was 8%.The most popular signs are Aquarius and Pisces – 4 people selected

them.4 people scored their signs correctly: 3 x Pisces and 1 Cancer.Those who wanted to be Aquarius stronly believed that this

description corresponds to their personality. Nobody wanted to be Aries.There are two strongly believing in Virgo individuals, but they are not.

And there is the NATIONAL DIMENSION – do you think that you are like a real Italian or maybe you fit more to the Indian

identity?

Page 23: Know yourself - Intercultural education, Croatia 2014

The country game

We asked you to choose one of 11 given personality descriptions – you didn’t know that they are related to nationalities.

We have all nationalities of our group and some others: such as Indian, American, Japanese.

Then you chose whether you strongly agree or rather agree with that identity.

We will see which one fits you the most?

You could choose: strongly agree, rather agree or ‘I am not there’ depending on how much you agree with a particular description.

So the closest country to souls of our participants is...

Croatia!

With 4 people identyfing themselves as Croatians.

3 people feel like Indian,and there is also two American, 1 Italian and 1 French.

Only Sanja (Slovenian) scored Croatia / Slovenian identity as herself!

So the truth has been revealed.

But remember,

Your truth is the most important one and there is no other one.Have your eyes opened, your ears listening, your mouth tasting

and your nose smelling.There is no better life than yours. And there is nobody else to be

you than yourself.All things around can support us or stop us from becoming our

best – but it is your choice and your effort whether you make it right or not.

Good luck!

If you feel like willing to reflect on this process, you will find very awesome questions behind.

Take a post-it and share your feelings, thoughts and emotions – they are important.

And it is important to share – your experience in unique in any sense. Make a good use out of it.
