About the IRIS Survey

Created by IRIS Client Success, Modified on Mon, 18 May at 1:38 PM by IRIS Client Success

The IRIS Survey is a structured behavioral assessment that captures patterns influencing performance, relationships, and growth.


Participants complete a 300-word adjective checklist to reflect how they typically operate and how they would like to grow.


The survey is brief, accessible, and designed for practical use in coaching, leadership development, and talent contexts.


What the Survey Measures


The IRIS Survey measures interconnected behavioral domains, including:

  • Motivational drivers
  • Self-regulatory capacities (such as awareness, restraint, and resilience)
  • Thinking patterns
  • Relational styles
  • Strength expressions


These patterns are coachable and can be developed over time.


Real and Ideal


The survey captures two perspectives:

  • Real — how someone currently tends to operate
  • Ideal — how they would prefer to grow or develop


Viewing these side by side helps identify:

  • strengths
  • growth priorities
  • areas of alignment

How Long It Takes


Most participants complete the survey in 15–20 minutes.

It can be completed on:

  • desktop
  • tablet
  • mobile device

How Results Are Used


Once completed, results are available within the IRIS platform for review.

Coaches and administrators use these results to:

  • Clarify strengths
  • Identify development priorities
  • Guide coaching conversations
  • Track growth over time


What IRIS Measures (and doesn’t)


IRIS does not label or categorize personality types.
It measures behavioral patterns that can evolve through intentional development.


IRIS doesn’t tell people who they are.
It helps them see how they’re showing up—and where they want to grow.
