FIRO® (Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation®)
The 2 instruments in the FIRO® suite are:
- The FIRO-B® (Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation – Behaviour™) instrument
- The FIRO Business™ assessment
The FIRO-B® instrument was developed by Will Schutz in the late 1950’s and has been the instrument of choice for learning and development professionals, coaches, and counsellors for more than 50 years. It describes the deeply held psychological needs which affect your relationships with others at work and outside work.
The FIRO Business™ assessment was developed in 2008 to give busy executives a more business related report, focusing on workplace applications. It also produces an excellent FIRO Business™ Leadership Report which shows your strengths and development areas in leadership.
The instruments are available in English, Chinese (simplified and traditional) and 10 other languages.
Overview of the FIRO-B® Instrument
FIRO-B® stands for Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation – Behaviour™. It assesses how you typically behave towards others and how you would like others to behave towards you. It assesses needs in 3 areas; inclusion, control and affection with behaviours in 2 directions; expressed and wanted.
Inclusion
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.
Wanted – I want other people to invite me to belong. I enjoy it when others notice me.
Control
Expressed – I try to exert control and influence over things. I enjoy organising things and directing others.
Wanted – I feel most comfortable working in well-defined situations. I try to get clear expectations and instruction.
Affection
Expressed – I make an effort to get close to people. I am comfortable expressing personal feelings and I try to be supportive of others.
Wanted – I want others to act warmly towards me. I enjoy it when people share their feelings with me and when they encourage my efforts.
Overview of the FIRO Business™ Instrument
The FIRO Business™ instrument is based on the same research data as the FIR0-B®. It has only 30 questions instead of 54 and takes only 10 minutes to complete. The scores are presented in easy to read, percentile format and are normed against an international databank of 2,800 working adults (50% in managerial positions). The language is business focused, so the 3 interpersonal needs are referred to as:
Involvement
(Inclusion, participation, recognition, belonging, and how you relate to groups)
Influence
(control, leadership, responsibility, and decision making authority)
Connection
(warmth, understanding, closeness, openness, and how you relate to individuals)
