ABSTRACT
The implications are that 'passive intentions' have more to offer the interpreting subject with regard to creativity; 'active intentions' allow the interpreting subject space for research, both abstract and applied, and favour activity along the axis of curiosity-deference. The purpose of developing the Musical Johari Window and the Creativity-Apathy-Deference-Curiosity models was to demonstrate that knowledge and interpretation are in a mutable relationship, but that the relationship itself is paramount, and that it is through the production of this relationship that creativity could develop. In classic psychoanalytic terms, object relations theory is a way of conceptualising interpersonal relationships. Klein saw all subjects as desiring to connect with another person. Klein suggested that subjects project emotions into the object, and introject aspects of the external world. Luft and Ingham developed the Johari Window to help people better understand themselves and their personalities in a social context.
