What is the FIRO-B® personality assessment?
The FIRO-B® (or Fundamental Interpersonal Relationship Orientation – Behaviour) personality assessment was developed by psychologist, William Schutz, and his research into high-performance teams operating in close-quarter settings.
The FIRO-B® instrument is built on the theory that when interacting with others, people have three important needs that must be met – that these needs are as fundamental as food and water. Not only do we all have different points at which these needs get met, but these fundamental needs also drive our behaviour in our interactions with others. These three needs are:
- The need for Inclusion – participation and inclusion in groups
- The need for Control – seeking influence, leadership, and responsibility
- The need for Affection – the depth of rapport in our relationships
The FIRO-B® reports two ways in which these needs get met; firstly, how we express the need through outward behaviour i.e. how we engage with others (called expressed behaviour); and secondly, how we want others to behave towards us (called wanted behaviour). The FIRO-B® provides individuals and teams with a simple and proven framework to understand and meet the differing needs in our relationships.
