Identity Iceberg
While creating my Identity Iceberg, I learned more about my identity. Some of the visible aspects of my identity are that I am a teenager, I don’t wear glasses, I have black hair, I am Asian, I am tall, and that I am an Apple user.
Some of the less visible aspects of my identity include the hobbies that I have, such as I play basketball and golf, I play the piano and the guitar and I sing… As well, the personality aspect of my identity is something that is less visible to other people too. For example, I am open-minded, and I am organized. I dislike wasting time and I enjoy music & maths are also some aspects that others won’t see straight off looking at me.
I find it interesting that as I go down to the “Not Visible” part of the iceberg, I find it really hard to think of anything. I believe that these aspects might not be there yet. In a psychological perspective, these aspects might be subconsciously there, it just that I have not realized them.
I wish that my teachers and peers can know me more by asking me questions they are confused about me. I am really open-minded thus I will not get awkward when answering any questions. I feel like the only way of getting to know a person better is to ask that person things you want to know about them.
Very well thought out, David! Thank you for sharing. I hope you continue to learn more about yourself and others through your years in IB.
