FERO-B

FERO-B stands for Fundamental Interpersonal Relationships Behaviour. This is a main tool in interpersonal relationships assessment. This was developed by Will Schutz.
The FIRO-B measures your interpersonal needs in three areas:

Inclusion (I)
The need for Inclusion relates to forming new relations an associating with others;
it determines the extent of contact and prominence that a person seeks. Some descriptors associated with Inclusion are
• belonging
• involvement
• participation
• recognition
• distinction

Control (C)
The need for Control relates to decision making, influence, and persuasion between
people; it determines the extent of power or dominance that a person seeks. Some descriptors associated with Control are
• power
• authority
• influence
• responsibility
• consistency

Affection (A)
The need for Affection relates to emotional ties and warm connections between people; it determines the extent of closeness that a person seeks.Some descriptors
associated with Affection are
• personal ties
• consensus
• sensitivity
• support
• openness

For each of the three interpersonal needs—Inclusion, Control, and Affection—the
FIRO-B also provides a measure of how much each need is Expressed or Wanted
by you.
Expressed (e)
The extent to which you will initiate the behavior is called the Expressed
dimension of that need.

Wanted (w)
The extent to which you want or will accept that behavior from others is called the Wanted dimension of the need.
