FIRO-B is a test to raise awareness of your typical inter-personnel behaviour. It can be administered in groups and results can be discussed with consent. I had prepared for FIRO-B testing earlier - In this series, I am including a presentation, a questionnaire, Scoring sheet and a Scoring Guide for use. I have collated content online and compiled it into one guide. Please research on the points of Ethical use of this test online. Anyone can use it as appropriate.
