Purchase a Pair of Online TKIs

For Yourself

There are several benefits to taking two TKIs, each with modified instructions, to assess how you manage conflict:

(1) INSIDE your group and

(2) OUTSIDE your group (across all the other settings in your life).

By taking these two modified TKI assessments, you’ll learn how the leader, group members, culture, reward system, and other situational factors may be influencing how conflict is managed—often leading to unsatisfactory outcomes.

With two personalized TKI Reports, you can identify which conflict modes are most needed for success INSIDE your group, while recognizing the modes you already use effectively OUTSIDE your group.

Price: $100 for a pair of TKIs

Access: You have 90 days after purchase to complete both assessments—one for INSIDE your group and one for OUTSIDE your group.

After You Complete Your Two TKIs

  • Your two personalized reports are available immediately on the Publisher’s Elevate platform.
  • You can download your two TKI Reports anytime from your Elevate account, under the tab: Downloadable Items.

Refund Policy

  • Full refund within 30 days, as long as you have not completed either or both TKI assessments.
  • No refunds after 30 days or after you have completed one or both assessments.

For a Group or 1 Other Person

Use this column to purchase pair(s) of TKIs—Two TKIs per Person—for a Group of Participants (you can also include yourself in this group) or for 1 other person.

FOR PARTICIPANTS

After completing two TKIs with modified instructions, each participant receives a pair of personalized reports—one for INSIDE and one for OUTSIDE the group.

FOR FACILITATORS

You will receive each participant’s personalized reports immediately upon completion.

But you will have to manually create your own summary statistics and summary charts for a group or organization.  On page 4 of each personalized TKI Report, you’ll see the bottom-line results that are most relevant to facilitators, consultants, and professors.

CAUTION: Group statistics and summary charts are not available when purchasing 2 TKIs per Person, which produce 2 TKI Reports for each participant.

Price: $100 per person for a pair of TKIs

Access

  • After you make a quantity purchase, your open slots can be assigned to participants anytime during the next 12 months.
  • Participants can access their TKI assessments for 90 days from when they are first assigned their TKI assessments via a spreadsheet, as described in the section below: How to Assign a Pair of TKIs to 1 or More Participants.

 

QUANTITY DISCOUNTS FOR A PAIR OF TKI ASSESSMENTS

For 1 to 24 persons, each pair of TKIs is $100 per person.
For 25 to 49 persons, each pair of TKIs is $95 per person.
For 50 to 249 persons, each pair of TKIs is $90 per person.

Most important: Click on the tab below, How to Assign a Pair of TKIs to 1 or More Participants, and carefully follow the instructions for letting us know WHO (names and email addressed) will be taking the TKIs for your group… and several other options for receiving the TKI results.

In the Quantity text box at the bottom of this section, enter the number of TKI pairs that you wish to purchase (or leave the default as 1, if you are making this purchase for just 1 other person). If you enter 25 or more pairs of TKIs, the total charge will be based on the relevant quantity discount.

How to Assign a Pair of TKIs to 1 or More Participants

After you’ve completed your quantity purchase, be sure to download the KD_Spreadsheet for Creating Group Accounts and carefully follow the instructions.

For example, if you are buying a pair of TKIs for one other person, fill out the spreadsheet for just that one person. If you’ll be taking a pair of TKIs along with other persons in your group, please make sure to also include YOUR information on the KD_Spreadsheet.

When you send your carefully completed KD_Spreadsheet to info@kilmanndiagnostics.com, also let us know your preferences for these four services:

  1. The date, time, and time zone when you want us to import your spreadsheet, which initiates the TKI process for your client(s) or group members.
  2. If you do NOT want to receive each separate TKI Report as soon as each of your clients completes their assessment. Otherwise, each TKI Report (as a pdf file) will automatically be emailed to you directly from the publisher’s website.
  3. If you want your clients to be able to Download their own TKI Reports or… (b) if you want us to delete the download button for your group account, so only you (or a designated facilitator) can present your participants’ TKI Reports directly to them.
  4. If and when (the date, time, and time zone) you want us to send a Reminder Email (for this one time only) to your clients who have not yet completed their TKI assessments.

When we import your spreadsheet, every listed person will immediately receive an “account email” that provides your group’s unique PRIVATE LINK along with the step-by-step instructions for registering a private account on the publisher’s website and then taking their two TKI assessments within the 90-day access period—which begins on the date when we import your spreadsheet. At that same time, we will also send you that same unique PRIVATE LINK with instructions, so you can email that information to your clients or group members—just in case they never received their account email from the publisher’s website (usually due to a very sensitive firewall).

Our Refund Policy and Expiration Policy

Refund Policy: As stipulated in All Our Policies, within 30 days from the purchase date, if you change your mind about using the TKI for any reason (if, for example, your training program gets cancelled), just contact us and you’ll receive a full refund for any unused pairs of TKIs. But we do not offer any refund, in whole or in part, once this initial 30-day period has elapsed or for any group members who’ve already taken one or two TKIs.

Expiration Policy: For most group TKI purchases, the number of persons listed on the spreadsheet will equal the quantity of TKI pairs that you just purchased. However, if you purchased a larger quantity of dual TKIs than the people listed on your spreadsheet (for the purpose of taking advantage of our quantity discounts), we’ll credit your group account with those extra TKIs, which we refer to as, “open slots.” But you’ll need to submit another (entirely new) KD_Spreadsheet when you know the participants who’ll be making use of those open slots in your account, which then initiates their 90-day access period for completing a pair of TKI assessments.

Those “open slots” in your group account can be assigned to participants any time within ONE YEAR of the purchase date, after which, those “open slots” officially expire. But either before—or after—those slots expire, you can take advantage of our Renewal Policy to reactivate those open slots for one more year by paying 50% of the current price of that online product on our Special Payments page.

Managing Your Group Account

After you’ve sent us your carefully completed spreadsheet (which includes letting us know your preferences for the four services in the previous section), you can then manage your group account all on your own—which is the standard practice for the great majority of our TKI Buyers.

Nevertheless, we offer two additional services for your TKI project, which we have conveniently included in our Extra Services Bundle. However, since these two extra services are time-consuming for us to manage on your behalf, we charge $25 for each Extra Services Bundle (see purchasing details in the next section).

NOTE: If you purchase 10 or more pairs of TKI assessments at one time, one Extra Services Bundle is automatically included in your group account.

After you’ve automatically been assigned (or purchased) an “Extra Services Bundle,” when you send us your carefully completed KD_Spreadsheet, also let us know your preferences for these two extra services:

  1. If and when you want us to email you 1 Status Report that lists all those participants in your group account who have—or have not—completed their TKI assessments: Choose a day and time on Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time; Sundays 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time. NOTE: We are closed on Saturdays and National Holidays.
  2. If and when you want us to email you 1 pair of Zip Files that includes the TKI Reports of all the participants in your group who have already completed their two TKIs: Choose a day and time on Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time; Sundays 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time. NOTE: We are closed on Saturdays and National Holidays.

If you’d like to receive more of these two extra services for your group account, you’ll then have to purchase additional Extra Services Bundles on our website.

Purchasing an Extra Services Bundle

If you wish to purchase one or more of the Extra Services Bundle, please visit Special Payments, scroll down to the bottom of that page, enter the total amount for one or more Extra Service Bundles ($25 multiplied by the number of Bundles), and then complete your purchase. When the text box appears, Order notes, please enter: 1 Service Bundle for TKIs, 2 Service Bundles for TKIs, etc.

Customizing the TKI Instructions

Below are the modified TKI instructions for the INSIDE and OUTSIDE perspective. The few key words that have been set in bold pinpoint what you can customize for your particular situation. But if you don’t tell us otherwise, your participants will be given these (default) instructions for their pair of TKI assessments:

INSIDE your group, how do you usually respond when you find your wishes differing from those of another group member? For each of the 30 pairs of statements below, select the letter (“A” or “B”) that best characterizes your behavior in your group.

OUTSIDE your group (across all other settings in your life), how do you usually respond when you find your wishes differing from those of another person? For each of the 30 pairs of statements below, select the letter (“A” or “B”) that best characterizes your typical behavior in these other settings.

Please let us know IF and HOW you would like to customize the focus of these instructions to: INSIDE/OUTSIDE your organization, your department; your school, the workplace… or whatever suits you. If you decide that your participants should respond to their TKIs with a different focus than the default instructions, we will place your customized instructions in the account emails that we send to your participants.

But other than the above customizing options that are set in bold, we do not alter any other aspect of the TKI instructions, since the remainder of those instructions is essential for maintaining the validity of the TKI assessment process.

TAKE THE THOMAS-KILMANN INSTRUMENT TWICE—WITH MODIFIED INSTRUCTIONS—FROM ITS CO-CREATOR:
DR. RALPH H. KILMANN

As described in our recorded online course, GROUP Training in Conflict Management, there are several benefits for taking TWO separate Thomas-Kilmann Instruments, each with modified instructions: (1) how you manage differences INSIDE your group and (2) how you manage differences OUTSIDE your group (across all other settings in your life).

By taking these two modified TKI assessments, you will learn how the leader, the other group members, the culture, the reward system, and the key attributes of that specific situation might be unduly influencing how conflict is being managed in your group—which has not led to satisfactory outcomes for you, the group as a whole, and other key stakeholders.

But once you and your group members receive a pair of personalized TKI Reports from those two modified TKI assessments, you’ll be able to discuss which conflict modes are most needed for success INSIDE your group, while you also learn which conflict modes you’re already using effectively OUTSIDE your group.

As a result of such discussions, it will then be much easier for members to significantly improve their group’s conflict-handling behavior, which includes redesigning and aligning their surrounding systems so they’ll be able to use all five modes INSIDE their group—as the situation requires.

Taking your two TKI assessments in different languages: If you wish to take a pair of online TKIs from Kilmann Diagnostics in Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (Traditional or Simplified), Japanese, Dutch, French, German, or Swedish, you have two options: (1) taking your two TKIs in the chosen language, yet your TKI Reports are provided in U.S. English or (2) taking your two TKIs in the chosen language and then downloading your TKI Reports in that same translation. You can also purchase a pair of TKI paper booklets or self-scorable ebooks from The Myers-Briggs Company in more than ten languages. To learn more about your options, go to: Translations for the TKI Assessment.

Watch our FREE, very informative, Videos About the Thomas-Kilmann Instrument and Your Conflict Resolution Skills. You can also read many Full-Length TKI Articles and TKI Blogs. Lastly, you’ll learn a lot from Dr. Kilmann’s question-and-answer exchanges: FAQs About the TKI Assessment.

If you want to read the most up-to-date and comprehensive information about the TKI tool in one single document, consider purchasing Ralph’s first (and only) TKI Book (published in 2023): Mastering the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict-Mode Instrument: Celebrating More Than 50 Years of Resolving All Kinds of Conflicts.

If you will be purchasing a pair of TKIs for each member in a group, consider taking our three-hour GROUP Training course, which will help you develop and then interpret “Group TKI Profiles.” This course will enable consultants, trainers, and coaches to improve how conflict is managed in the workplace far beyond what is possible from simply averaging “Individual TKI Profiles.” In addition, once you create an account on our website, click on “My Free Gifts” on your Dashboard and you’ll have access to Dr. Kilmann’s 25-minute webinar: “Using the TKI to Its Full Potential.”
