What is IRIS?

Created by IRIS Client Success, Modified on Wed, 20 May at 3:44 PM by IRIS Client Success

IRIS helps people and organizations see behavioral patterns clearly, choose growth intentionally, and measure meaningful progress over time


Rather than assigning personality types, IRIS maps patterns in how people think, relate, act, and respond—and how those patterns evolve with intentional development.


What IRIS Measures


IRIS organizes behavior into interconnected domains:

  • Motivational Drivers — the internal forces that energize action and shape decision-making
  • Self-Regulatory Skills (Imperatives) — capacities such as awareness, restraint, resilience, and alignment that support sustainable growth
  • Thinking Styles — how information is processed, structured, and applied
  • Relating Styles — how individuals engage, influence, and respond in relationships
  • Emotional Intelligence (EQ) — social and emotional competencies associated with effective leadership and performance
  • Workforce Readiness Skills — applied behavioral capacities that support employability and contribution
  • Guiding & Integrated Strengths — character-level patterns and composite capacities that shape leadership and long-term direction


Together, these domains provide a structured, multidimensional view of how someone works, leads, adapts, and grows.


How IRIS Is Used


IRIS translates behavioral insight into practical development. Organizations and coaches use IRIS to:

  • Clarify strengths and growth priorities

  • Structure high-value coaching conversations

  • Strengthen team dynamics and collaboration

  • Inform hiring and talent decisions

  • Track behavioral growth over time


Results are delivered through interactive dashboards and structured reports, making growth measurable and actionable.


Who Uses IRIS


IRIS is used by:

  • Executive and professional coaches

  • Hiring managers and talent leaders

  • Team and organizational leaders

  • Workforce development programs


Participants complete the survey, and authorized users interpret and apply results within the platform.
