Your highest score is an indication of how you prefer to negotiate and to handle conflict. Your next highest score is an indication of your secondary preference in how you negotiate and handle conflict. Most people have only one or two preferences. This simply indicates the behavior that you are most comfortable with displaying when in these kinds of situations. Occasionally the scale indicates very little difference for two or more modes of behavior. This is an indication that you are equally comfortable acting in a variety of ways.

In general, integrating and to some extent compromising styles are appropriate for dealing with strategic issues. Obliging, dominating, and avoiding styles can be used to deal with tactical or more day-to-day problems.

The purpose of this measure is to help you understand how you are most likely to negotiate, and handle conflict. With a better understanding can come development of additional negotiation and conflict handling behaviors when called for by a situation. Please remember to print or copy your scores and their interpretations.

Collaborating My Collaborating Score is: 8 The collaborating style to negotiation and conflict resolution occurs when everyone tries to find a win-win solution, so that each others concerns are all satisfied. This usually involves viewing issues as a series of problems that need to solved, and being open to creative and not readily apparent solutions. Accommodating My Accommodating Score is: 6.857142857142857 Trying to appease other(s) by placing their needs above your own. Accommodating is often taken on for the specific purpose of saving, or trying to avoid damaging, a relationship. It can be done because the other party is of higher status, because you know (or hope) that you will have additional dealings with the party in the near future, or because you recognize that the current negotiation is not worth the trouble. Dominating My Dominating Score is: 6.2 A desire to satisfy one's interests, regardless of the impact on others. This is usally achieved by using whatever means necessary. It can include referencing status ("pulling rank"), name dropping, bullying, acting in a highly aggressive manner, calling in favors, offerings to other parties that are not related to the negotiations, and even veiled threats. Compromising My Compromising Score is: 6.93333333333333 Compromising occurs when there is no clear winner or loser. Instead each person involved comes to accept a solution that does not fully satisfy his or her concerns - everybody gives up something. Parties tend to adopt this stance when they recognize that to come to a resolution or deal they will have to give up something. It is the most often utilized style, although not always very effectively. Avoiding My Avoiding Score is: 6 Trying to withdraw/get away from, or ignore, a conflict. This is usually associated with not dealing with the conflict at all. However, it can also be employed when a delay may be necessary, such as when a question is asked that you do not have the answer to, or when you need more time to gather your facts before dealing with the situation.
