Question 1

Is this a real psychological test?

Accepted Answer

It's built on the two-concern model of conflict behavior (how strongly you pursue your own concerns, and how much you attend to the other person's), the framework behind decades of conflict research, from Blake and Mouton's grid to the Thomas-Kilmann tradition. The statements are our own, written in that tradition; they aren't copied from any published instrument. We don't diagnose, we measure. The behavioral layer (hesitation, revision) is our own addition.

Question 2

I've seen five conflict styles. Where's Compromising?

Accepted Answer

In the two-concern model, compromising isn't a fifth corner; it's the middle of the map. If your scores land near a boundary, your result says so and names the style you lean toward. That disclosed middle ground is exactly where compromisers live; we never silently round you into a box.

Question 3

What data do you collect?

Accepted Answer

Your answers, timestamps, time spent per question, and any revisions. No name, email, or account is required for the free snapshot. If you unlock a paid report, we store the minimum needed to deliver it.

Question 4

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

Around 7 minutes for most people. 20 statements, one at a time. There's no time pressure. In fact, how long you take is part of what we measure.

Question 5

What if I disagree with my result?

Accepted Answer

There's a "Disagree with your result?" link on every result page. Tell us what felt off and you get a free retake after 48 hours. Your feedback genuinely calibrates the test.
