The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Self-Scorable

The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) is the number-one best-selling instrument for conflict resolution. This easy-to-use, self-scoring exercise is fast and powerful. Participants select responses from 30 statement pairs to discover which of five conflict handling styles is their preferred “mode”. Interpretation and feedback materials help clients learn about the most appropriate uses for each mode and how to increase their comfort level with their less-used modes.

Used as a stand-alone tool by individuals, in a group learning process, or as a part of a structured workshop, the TKI is a practical approach to conflict resolution. Its simple-to-use format and easy-to-understand content have made it the centerpiece of training programs over a wide variety of applications. The companion video Dealing with Conflict and the Conflict Workshop Facilitator’s Guide provide additional information and support.
