Developed by William Schutz in the 1950s
What it measures:
The FIRO-B® questionnaire measures how a person typically behaves towards others and how that person would like others to behave towards them. It assesses inter-personal 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. |
Expressed
I try to exert control and influence over things. I enjoy organising things and directing others. |
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 other people to invite me to belong. I enjoy it when others notice me. |
Wanted
I feel most comfortable working in well-defined situations. I try to get clear expectations and instructions. |
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. |
