What does ORID stand for?

• A. Objective, Reflective, Interpretive, Decisional
• B. Objective, Reflective, Interpretive, Decisive
• C. Observational, Reflective, Insightful, Deterministic
• D. Objective, Rational, Innovative, Decision

Answer: (A)

ORID is a facilitation framework used to structure group conversations. It stands for Objective, Reflective, Interpretive, Decisional. In the first stage, Objective, you focus on gathering facts and observable data about the issue. The Reflective stage invites participants to share initial feelings, reactions, and personal responses. Next, Interpretive explores meaning, implications, assumptions, and how the information fits into broader context. Finally, Decisional moves the discussion toward concrete next steps, decisions, or actions. This sequence—facts, reactions, meaning, and decisions—helps ensure that data and emotions are both considered before making choices. The other option uses terms that aren’t part of the standard ORID framework (for example, opting for Decisive rather than Decisional, or using Observational or Rational in place of Objective or Reflective), so they don’t align with the established structure.
