Myers-Briggs Fundamental Interpersonal Relationship Orientation – Behavior (FIRO-B) and FIRO – Business

The Myers-Briggs Fundamental Interpersonal Relationship Orientation – Behavior (FIRO-B) and FIRO – Business measures interpersonal needs and wants. The assessments can repair broken relationships and improve already good, functional relationships, unlocking potential in workplace interactions. Based on the Social Need Theory, the assessment facilitates behavioral change by providing insight into people’s relationships and requirements. FIRO results provide critical data on how people tend to behave toward others and how they want others to behave toward them. This information can be used, for example, to help people improve their interpersonal communication skills and address issues and potential misunderstands with co-workers or in relationships.

The FIRO assessment helps you in:

  • Relationship enhancement - By uncovering areas where individuals may not meet the interpersonal needs of customers and stakeholders, the FIRO assessments promote behavior changes that can help people build better relationships and performance.

  • Team Building – FIRO insights accelerate team building and enable team members to recognize and overcome potential barriers that could prevent them from working together effectively.

  • Leader and Executive Development – The FIRO assessments help leaders and executives unlock performance improvement by better meeting the needs of peers, direct reports, and others.

  • Conflict Management – FIRO results empower people to recognize when the way they express themselves is likely to conflict with the needs of others, thereby enabling them to avoid, assess, and resolve interpersonal challenges.

  • Emotional Intelligence Development – The FIRO model builds success on the fundamental awareness that different people have different needs.
