 Fundamental Interpersonal Relations
Orientation (FIRO) is a theory of interpersonal
relations, introduced by William Schutz in
1958.
 Based on this theory Schutz developed a

Behaviour measuring instrument that


contains six scales of nine that he called
FIRO-B.

2
 The FIRO - B examines the way one
typically act with other people .

 The answers to FIRO - B questions put


someone within a range of scores. One
may be on the high or the low end of the
range or somewhere in-between.

 It helps to become more aware of one’s


own interpersonal behaviour habits.

3
 The scores and descriptions are a guide to
how one can view interpersonal
relationships at this point of time and will
help to think about strengths and
weaknesses.

 We can also use this test for assigning a job


to someone.

4
FIRO-B technique was created to measure or
control how group members feel when it
comes to three interpersonal needs,
1. Inclusion
2. Control
3. Affection/openness

5
 FIRO - B Inclusion results describe how
much one want to include other people in
his/her life and how much attention and
recognition one want from other - not in
close one to one relationships, but with
people in general.

6
 FIRO - B Control results describe the way
one usually react to taking charge of
situations or being directed by others. They
examine categories like authority,
responsibility, decision making and
influencing.

7
 FIRO - B Affection score results describe –
the need to form close and personal
relationships with others. It seeks to
determine how one can balance the desire
for warmth against the desire to maintain
distance and independence.
