Interpersonal behaviour questionnaire

"Leary’s Rose"

In this questionnaire you describe how you act in social relationships. It will be easier to complete the questionnaire if you have one specific relationship in mind, for example a specific relationship at work. Make sure, therefore, that you make a choice.

Read through the list of types of interpersonal behaviour below and tick the box next to the word or phrase that typifies how you act in the chosen relationship.

The phrases are in the third person, because you can also use this questionnaire to typify the personal behaviour of someone else.

When you have finished ticking the words or phrases that typify you you can look up the results by clicking on the "Show result" button at the bottom of the page. If you wish, the results displayed can be printed out.
