O tym teście
This conflict style quiz is a 25-item self-report test inspired by the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI), the well-known dual-concern model that crosses assertiveness × cooperativeness to define five conflict-handling styles: competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating. Each style is measured by 5 statements on a 5-point Likert scale, and your highest-scoring style is reported as your dominant approach to conflict. This is an independent reformulation of the public framework, not the official, licensed TKI assessment.
Jak liczymy wynik
25 self-report items (5 per conflict style), rated on a 5-point Likert scale, based on the dual-concern model (assertiveness × cooperativeness) that underlies the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode framework (Thomas & Kilmann 1974). It measures your self-reported tendency toward each of the five styles and reports the highest-scoring one as your dominant style. It is an independent, non-commercial adaptation for self-reflection — not the official, licensed TKI assessment and not a validated psychometric instrument.

Najczęstsze pytania + informacja
Is this the official Thomas-Kilmann Instrument (TKI)?
No. This is an independent 25-item self-report quiz inspired by the public Thomas-Kilmann five-mode framework (Thomas & Kilmann 1974). It is not affiliated with the official, licensed TKI assessment and does not reproduce its items.
What are the 5 conflict styles?
Thomas and Kilmann's model names five styles based on how assertive and how cooperative a response is: competing (high assertive, low cooperative), collaborating (high assertive, high cooperative), compromising (moderate on both), avoiding (low assertive, low cooperative), and accommodating (low assertive, high cooperative).
How is it scored?
Five statements per style, rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Your highest-scoring style across the five modes is reported as your dominant conflict style.
Can I have more than one conflict style?
Yes — most people use a mix depending on context, the relationship, and the stakes involved. The result reports your highest-scoring style, but the others usually stay in your repertoire and show up in different situations.
How do I figure out my conflict style?
The fastest way is to notice your default reaction the moment a disagreement starts: do you push your point, look for a compromise, dig into a joint solution, change the subject, or give in? This quiz turns that pattern into a score across the five styles in about 5 minutes.
Is one conflict style the "best" one?
No single style is universally best — each has trade-offs. Collaborating tends to produce the most durable solutions but takes more time; competing works when a fast, clear decision matters; compromising is efficient for low-stakes friction; avoiding and accommodating can be wise in the right moment but risky as a permanent default.
How does conflict style affect relationships?
Mismatched styles — for example, one partner competing while the other avoids — can make disagreements feel unresolved or one-sided. Knowing both people's styles makes it easier to spot the pattern and agree on how you'll handle disagreements going forward.
How does conflict style show up at work?
At work, conflict style shapes how people handle disagreements in meetings, feedback, and negotiations. A team that leans heavily toward avoiding can let problems fester, while one dominated by competing styles can burn trust — most healthy teams need a mix, with collaborating and compromising for most day-to-day friction.
Can I change my conflict style?
Conflict style is a learned pattern, not a fixed trait, so it can shift with practice. Many people default to one style under stress but can deliberately choose a different one — for example, using collaborating for a high-stakes disagreement even if avoiding comes more naturally.
How long does it take?
About 5 minutes — 25 short statements.
