Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument Profile and Interpretive Report

The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) helps individuals understand how five conflict-handling modes, or styles—competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating—affect interpersonal and group dynamics and learn how to select the most appropriate style for a given situation. By selecting responses from 30 statement pairs, individuals discover their preferred style. The TKI assessment allows trainers and HR professionals to safely open a discussion about conflict, to reveal patterns, and to look at instances when one conflict behavior is productive and when choosing another style would be more effective. The TKI assessment follows the same basic format as the best-selling paper-and-pencil version but is tailored specifically to each individual participant. Each personalized analysis report graphically shows how the participant uses the five conflict-handling modes. Your clients will find taking the TKI assessment online to be a fast and engaging activity. The TKI assessment is psychometrically sound and thoroughly researched, so you can trust the results your clients will receive. You can choose to have clients receive immediate feedback and/or have results sent directly to you. Based on the participant’s particular use of each mode, the report offers specific suggestions to help him or her understand the pluses and minuses of a particular conflict-handling style, guidance on the appropriate use of each mode, and tips for learning to work with less preferred modes.

Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument Profile and Interpretive Report Benefits

The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) can be incorporated into any leadership development program because the TKI assessment provides insight into an individual’s typical response to conflict situations using one or more of five conflict-handling modes, or styles: competing, accommodating, avoiding, collaborating, and compromising. By identifying alternative conflict resolution styles and how and when to use them most effectively, the TKI assessment helps people reframe and defuse conflict, creating more productive outcomes. This conflict assessment will also help students strengthen the leadership competencies and fundamental competencies identified within the DoD Civilian Leader Development Framework and DoD Civilian Leader Development Continuum.
