The FIRO-B addresses three dimensions of human relations:

1. Inclusion:

   • Expressed Inclusion (EI): Reflects the extent to which you initiate social contact and include others. High scores suggest a proclivity for social engagement, while low scores may indicate a more reserved approach.
   • Wanted Inclusion (WI): Measures your desire for others to include you in social interactions. High scores suggest a strong preference for inclusion, while low scores indicate a more independent or self-sufficient nature.
     
     

2. Control:

   • Expressed Control (EC): Gauges your inclination to influence or direct others. High scores suggest a proactive approach to control, while low scores indicate a preference for being influenced by others.
   • Wanted Control (WC): Reflects your desire for others to take charge. High scores imply a preference for being directed, while low scores suggest a desire for independence.
     
     

3. Affection:

   • Expressed Affection (EA): Assesses the extent to which you openly express warmth and affection. High scores suggest a demonstrative nature, while low scores may indicate a more reserved or private approach.
   • Wanted Affection (WA): Reflects your desire for warmth from others. High scores imply a strong need for affection, while low scores suggest a more self-sufficient or independent approach.

What Your Scores Mean:

• High Expressed and High Wanted: You are comfortable with and strongly desire this behavior in relationships.
• High Expressed and Low Wanted: You tend to display a behavior strongly but may not prefer it in others.
• Low Expressed and High Wanted: You may downplay a behavior but desire it in others.
• Low Expressed and Low Wanted: The behavior is not strongly expressed or desired.

Interpreting Expressed and Wanted Scores:

• Compare Expressed and Wanted scores on each dimension.
• Similar scores may suggest a tendency to give as much or as little as expected.
• Divergent scores may indicate a tendency to give more than expected or want more than given on a specific dimension.

Analyzing Orientations:

• Consider how orientations in one area may help or hinder each other.
• Wide differences in scores can lead to conflict and frustration in relationships.
