Negative aspects of our character that we are unaware of but others can see are called?

• A. Setbacks
• B. Blind spots
• C. Positive traits
• D. Self-esteem

Answer: (B)

Blind spots are negative aspects of our character that we don’t notice in ourselves but others can see. In a salon setting, these might show up as habits that hinder communication or client comfort—like interrupting clients, rushing through consultations, or resisting feedback—traits you might overlook but coworkers or clients clearly notice. The reason this term fits best is that it specifically describes those invisible-to-you, externally visible flaws that can affect interactions and professional growth. Setbacks refer to obstacles or failures, not hidden traits. Positive traits are the good qualities you recognize or others recognize, not hidden flaws. Self-esteem is about how you feel about yourself, not about unrecognized behaviors others observe.
