Description
A questionnaire is a research instrument consisting of a series of questions and other prompts for the purpose of gathering information from respondents. Although they are often designed for statistical analysis of the responses, this is not always the case. The questionnaire was invented by Sir Francis Galton
FIRO-B The theory underlying the FIRO – B questionnaire is that there are three interpersonal needs that vary among individuals. The first is inclusion – the need to establish and maintain a relationship with other people. It seeks to determine how you balance the desire to be part of a group against the desire for solitude. The second is control – the need to maintain a satisfactory balance of power and influence in relationships. It confronts the trade-offs we have to make between the desire for structure and authority versus the desire for freedom. Finally, there is the need for affection – the need to form close and personal relationships with others. It seeks to determine how you balance the desire for warmth against the desire to maintain distance and independence. Each of these three needs has two subdimensions – the expressed desire to give the need and the wanted desire to receive the need from others. So, for instance, the questionnaire measures both your need to include others and your need to be included by others. The result is that the FIRO – B generates six separate scores. Each score refers to one of the boxes in the 2 x 3 matrix. These numbers will tell you the strength of your interpersonal need in each of the six areas. Your score in each box will range between 0 and 9. Your total interpersonal needs score is calculated by summing up the numbers in all six boxes. That overall summation score should be placed in the small box next to the matrix.
