Take the free Conflict Style assessment online. Discover your default conflict approach — competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, or accommodating. 20 questions based on the Thomas-Kilmann model.
The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) is the world's most widely used conflict-style assessment, employed by organizations and mediators globally. Developed by Kenneth Thomas and Ralph Kilmann, it identifies five conflict modes based on two dimensions: how assertively you pursue your own needs and how cooperatively you address others'.
The five modes are: Competing (assertive, uncooperative — winning matters most), Collaborating (assertive, cooperative — finding the best solution for everyone), Compromising (moderate on both — splitting the difference), Avoiding (unassertive, uncooperative — sidestepping conflict), and Accommodating (unassertive, cooperative — yielding to others). Each mode is appropriate in certain situations; the goal is versatility.
JobCannon's 20-question Conflict Style Assessment reveals your default conflict profile, the situations where each of your modes serves you well, where your default becomes a liability, and how to develop greater conflict flexibility for more effective professional and personal relationships.
