Conflict Style Test
Inward Atlas wrote the item set using an established conceptual framework. The resulting score is useful for structured reflection but is not a validated substitute for the source theory or a professional instrument.
What it measures
A 30-item self-reflection assessment of how you tend to respond when goals, needs, or opinions collide. It compares five common conflict approaches without pretending one style is always best.
What you complete
30 scored items across 5 displayed dimensions
How the score is made
Declared Likert items are summed after reverse-keying where specified, then transformed to a 0–100 display scale. The display is a response score, not a population percentile, unless an official lookup conversion is explicitly named.
Consistency evidence
No reliability coefficient has been estimated from Inward Atlas users for this online administration. Where a source link is provided, consult it for evidence about the original instrument or source scale.
What the evidence supports
Inward Atlas wrote the item set using an established conceptual framework. The resulting score is useful for structured reflection but is not a validated substitute for the source theory or a professional instrument. Inward Atlas has not established psychometric validity for this implementation.
How values should be read
No representative Inward Atlas norm sample is applied. Displayed 0–100 values are transformed response scores, not percentile ranks or claims about comparison with a population.
Source and implementation record
Original item set informed by the general dual-concern framework and five commonly discussed conflict approaches. It is not TKI, does not reproduce TKI items, and requires empirical calibration before stronger psychometric claims.
Limitations shown with the assessment
- This is a theory-informed original self-reflection assessment, not a validated diagnostic or clinical instrument.
- It is not the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) and is not affiliated with or endorsed by its publisher or authors.
- A high score means you endorsed that approach more often in these items; it does not mean the approach is better or worse.
- Conflict behavior changes with stakes, power, culture, safety, and relationship context. Use the report as a conversation aid rather than a fixed identity.
Implementation notes
- All item wording is original to Inward Atlas.
- Scores are independent 0–100 transformed response averages; multiple approaches can score high because people can flex across contexts.
