About this test

The stolen credit in a meeting. The deadline collision. The coworker whose speakerphone is a public event. Work serves up friction daily — and everyone has a default way of meeting it. This test walks you through 45 realistic office scenarios to map your conflict style across five approaches: Competing (push your case and win), Collaborating (dig for the win-win), Compromising (split the difference and move), Avoiding (sidestep and let it cool), and Accommodating (yield to keep the peace). You'll get your dominant style with a full profile of where it wins for you — and exactly where it quietly costs you.

What you'll discover

Competing

Meets conflict head-on — pushes the case, defends the work, and plays to win.

Collaborating

Digs beneath positions to interests, hunting for the solution where everyone wins.

Compromising

Trades fast and fairly — splits the difference to keep everything moving.

Avoiding

Sidesteps the spark — buys time, lets tempers cool, and picks battles rarely.

Accommodating

Yields generously — protects relationships and team harmony over personal wins.
