About this free test
What does this test explore?
Conflict style appears when honesty, safety and connection seem to compete. Some people speak immediately, some need processing time and others focus first on restoring harmony.
The result compares directness, processing, repair, emotional expression and flexibility. Every profile has both a useful strength and a recurring tension.
