The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) Online

Take the Test Online, Learn Your Conflict Management Style

Conflict is often seen as negative, yet it can lead to great change and improvement. Learning when your conflict management style is appropriate and adding new styles to your abilities will give you the edge you've been missing up until now. Most of us prefer one style; learning about other styles will increase your effectiveness and ability to work well with others. Take the test online here to learn how the TKI can help you improve your conflict resolution skills. Click here to see a sample report.

What styles do your colleagues use?

The TKI gives each person a report on the 5 conflict styles or modes. Each mode is appropriate in different situations; each is effective at different times. Learn which mode is your primary and when to use it for best results. Discover how to use your less preferred modes for conflict resolution in work, family, and social settings. Test each person in your group to learn how you can all get along better.

Conflict is unavoidable

Yes, it's human nature. We even have conflict within ourselves, without any outside interference. Given that we have to live with conflict, how can we adapt and adjust to make the process go more smoothly and create a positive end result? We can take our results from the TKI to learn new conflict resolution skills. Frequently, our emotions and desires can make communication difficult. Use the TKI to learn what others are doing in those situations and learn to understand your own behavior during tense moments. You can master these challenges with knowledge and practice.

For best results, test your whole group

Since conflict is a part of daily life, the greatest benefit will come from testing your entire group, whether it's at work, social, or even family. Write to for group rates and to learn about conflict management training seminars. Each person can take the test online and have his or her results in a short while, usually within 2 hours. You'll then have the tools in hand to begin a conflict resolution training session, retreat, or workshop. The TKI is also an excellent tool for conflict resolution when 2 or more individuals are having trouble working together. The information from the reports can be used to begin a constructive dialog, as a place to start discussion, without blaming anyone. Organizations that have used the TKI include the Thunderbird, the American Graduate School of International Management.
