INTERPRETING YOUR SCORES

We recommend that you take a few minutes and view several short videos of key concepts of conflict styles by Dr. Ron Kraybill, author of Style Matters.  They're quick and they'll help you understand the rest of this report.   We also suggest reading Followup Instructions in your email or on our site.   Don't miss the simple instructions on how to upload your score report into Google's free Notebook LLM.   In just a few minutes you can generate a highly insightful, extremely realistic, 10 minute audio conversation between two podcasters, based completely on your score report.  You can also ask the chatbot for help in learning skills suggested in your report.  

Take the numbers lightly. You are more than whatever was in your mind when you answered the twenty questions. Use the scores to think about your choices in conflict, not to define who you are.  Ask family and friends who know you well for feedback. 

 
 

Optimize for learning

Train with tools designed by trainers and optimized for learning. Direct attention beyond numbers to core strengths, opportunities for growth, and strategic choices.

Prepare for diversity

Build conflict resolution skills in settings where managing differences is challenging. Use training tools with built-in cultural flexibility. Provide opportunities to discuss how diverse backgrounds shape habits in conflict.

Be practical

Ground learning in affirmation of existing strength. Give clear, simple feedback on areas of concern. Provide detailed suggestions for options to improve.

Be stress aware

Calm≠Storm. Recognize response to conflict as dynamic and not single state.  Give tools to manage the Storm Shift.

Be where they are

Provide multi-platform delivery of training. Support groups and teams scattered physically and working together online. Use time-saving web tools to facilitate learning for individuals, teams, or groups, in face-to-face workshops or online.

Work with limits

Price training materials in reach of all who need them. Reduce prep, coordination, and delivery time with trainer-friendly online tools. Deliver rich learning, on location or online, in less time, with less travel.

Take a long view

Expand the window of learning and support reflection before, during, and after workshops. Set up rich discussion in pairs, small groups, and large groups. Followup with resources for continued growth.  Facilitate journeys, not events.
