What have you learned about your own conflict style?
Well, it took me a little while, but I finally got hold of the conflict styles survey, and based on the results of that my conflict style is "Collaboration". However! My scores for Accommodation, Compromise, and Collaboration are really close together, which I think means they should all be taken into consideration. Also, I'd like to analyse these results a bit.
For one thing, I think that these scores somewhat reflect what I'd like my conflict style to be like. A lot of my high answers for the Accommodation are due to the fact that I really, really want to be an accommodating person, and I think that came through in the way I answered questions. The same goes for compromise: I wish I compromised more, and I think unconsciously a lot of my answers were influenced by that.
In reality I think my conflict varies depending on who I'm talking to--with people I like less or with whom I feel I need to be more assertive, I tend to use more of a domineering style, but with people I really value I'm more likely to be accommodating. Other times I use collaboration, and sometimes when I feel there's no way to win a conflict I just avoid it altogether.
