Conflict Profile

The Conflict Profile® presents a dynamic of conflict possibilities, measuring behavior according to "assertive" or "supportive" axes. It provides a model for better understanding five broad conflict styles: Competition, Avoidance, Accommodation, Compromise and Collaboration. Understanding which styles are appropriate in various situations enables us to adapt our behavior and deal more effectively with conflict.

Conflict is a natural obstacle, inherent in almost any team effort. The Conflict Profile will help your team members to recognize the various conflict styles and navigate smoothly through an otherwise team-breaking situation.

This diagnostic tool helps individuals recognize the five styles of dealing with conflict and identify their own natural approach. Participants evaluate ten sets of five possible responses to conflict situations in a work setting. Results are displayed graphically to reveal personal conflict style preferences.
