I completed the Conflict Resolution Questionnaire. These were my scores:

• Yielding – 18/20
• Compromising 13/20
• Forcing 11/20
• Problem Solving 16/20
• Avoiding 13/20

What is your approach to managing conflict?

According to my results, I often yield to the other parties’ solutions in order to deflate conflict. However, I am able to consider many possible solutions to a problem which I will bring to my conflict resolution situation.

Does this match to how you think of yourself?

Yes. I consider myself a gentle, non-forceful soul with lots of imagination!

What areas do you think you need to develop?

I know that I need to work on my assertiveness in certain situations. Perhaps I don’t do enough to secure my own interests, but I don’t like forcing. I need to work on less aggressive strategies to make sure my own interests are on the table. And, I do a lot of avoiding, which can leave issues unaddressed for too long.
