Organization Behaviour

The FIRO-B® instrument identifies how you tend to behave toward others and how you want them to behave toward you. Your FIRO-B results can help you increase your self-understanding in a number of important areas, including how you handle interpersonal relationships and your own social needs, how others perceive you, and how you see them. The FIRO-B tool provides information about three fundamental dimensions of interpersonal needs:

INCLUSION is about recognition, belonging, participation, contact with others, and how you relate to groups CONTROL concerns influence, leadership, responsibility, and decision making AFFECTION is about closeness, warmth, sensitivity, openness, and how you relate to others

The FIRO-B assessment also indicates your preferences in regard to two distinct aspects of each of these needs areas:

EXPRESSED BEHAVIOR How much do you prefer to initiate the behavior? How do you actually behave with respect to the three fundamental interpersonal needs? What is your comfort level engaging in the behaviors associated with the three needs? WANTED BEHAVIOR How much do you prefer others to take the initiative? How much do you want to be on the receiving end of those behaviors? What is your comfort level when others direct their behaviors associated with the three needs to you?

This profile reports your results on the expressed and wanted aspects of the three interpersonal needs explored by the FIRO-B tool and includes basic interpretive information for each. As you read through this profile, please consider how the results compare with your own sense of how you interact with others. Results should not be used to make a judgment about whether any behavior or any person is good or bad. You should avoid making major decisions based on the results of only one assessment.
