About the IRIS Survey

Created by IRIS Client Success, Modified on Tue, 3 Mar at 1:12 PM by IRIS Client Success

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


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


The survey is brief, accessible, and built for practical application 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 includes 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, and areas of alignment.


How Long It Takes

Most participants complete the survey in approximately 15–20 minutes.

The survey can be completed on a desktop, tablet, or mobile device.


How Results Are Used

Once completed, results become 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


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