How The FIRO-B Can Benefit Your Organization

The 54-item FIRO-B self assessment measures interpersonal needs on three scales: Inclusion, Control, and Affection. These scales help define how an individual both expresses their needs and their wants.  By developing a greater understanding of these needs and behaviors individuals can improve their interactions with others. The FIRO assessment is a very useful tool for executive coaching.  The tool can aid in the following ways:

  • Reveals how interpersonal needs drive people’s behavior

  • Shapes people’s ability to build trust, influence others, and create productive relationships

  • Facilitates the formation and reengagement of teams

  • Highlights perceptual gaps that may inadvertently derail relationships

  • Generates a variety of comprehensive interpretive reports to support applications
