The FIRO-BŪ questionnaire

Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation - Behaviour

The InDepth consultants are qualified to use the FIRO B questionnaire, amongst a wide portfolio of other psychometric tools, and have found it to be tremendously useful in helping clients develop self-awareness and understand different personality behaviours, especially how they are expressed.

A unique, world-leading indicator of interpersonal style, completely revised, updated and adapted for European users. Developed in the 1950s it is now one of the most widely used tools for helping people to understand themselves and their relationships with others better.

The FIRO-B questionnaire is based on Will Schutz's wish to provide an understanding of the fundamental differences between people and how these impact on relationships. It can dramatically increase an individual's understanding of areas such as how they come across to others, how and why conflict can develop and how to understand and manage their own needs when interacting with others.

It measures how a person typically behaves towards others and how that person would like others to behave towards them. It assesses interpersonal style, and its appropriateness in relationships, on three levels:


Inclusion
Control
Affection
Expressed I make an effort to include others in my activities. I try
to belong, to join social groups - to be with people as much as possible.
I try to exert control and influence over things. I enjoy organising things
and directing others. I make an effort to get close to people. I am comfortable
expressing personal feelings and I try to be supportive of others.
Inclusion
Control
Affection
Wanted I want other people to invite me to belong. I enjoy it when
others notice me. I feel most comfortable working in well-defined situations.
I try to get clear expectations and instructions. I want others to act warmly
towards me. I enjoy it when people share their feelings with me and when
they encourage my efforts.
