The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) reveals which of the five conflict modes—competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating—a person might be using too much or too little…or just right.

With this enhanced self-awareness about conflict-handling behavior, 1 or more participants will be able to easily recognize the most appropriate uses for each of the five conflict modes, depending on the key attributes of the situation. Learning such an enlightened approach to conflict management will significantly enhance their skills for resolving all kinds of conflicts and problems—whether at work or at home.

INDIVIDUAL REPORTS FOR PARTICIPANTS

An Individual TKI Profile and Interpretive Report is generated for each participant, based on their responses to 30 paired items, which includes:

  • An overview of the five conflict modes
  • The individual’s TKI results
  • Insights on when to use each conflict mode
  • Signs of overuse and underuse tendencies for each mode

NOTE: Participants will be able to download their reports immediately after completing their TKI Assessment (default). Or you may choose to deny your participants the option to download their own TKI Reports—so you can distribute the reports directly to them. Please see the section below: How to Assign TKIs to 1 or More Participants

GOOD TO KNOW

You, the buyer, will receive each participant’s TKI Individual Report immediately upon completion (default), unless you request otherwise. 

Page 4 of each participant’s TKI Report highlights the bottom-line results most useful for facilitators, consultants, and professors — perfect for preparing summary statistics and charts ahead of a workshop or program.

IMPORTANT: With TKI Individual Reports, you’ll need to manually create your own summary statistics and charts for a group of participants — automatic summary statistics or charts are not available. For automatic team profiles and charts for intact teams, check out our personalized TKI Team Reports (starting at $60 per person).

THE PRICE FOR EACH TKI

$50 per person

QUANTITY DISCOUNTS FOR THE TKI:

ASSIGNING OPEN SLOTS AND PARTICIPANT ACCESS TO THE TKI

  • After you make a purchase, those TKIs become “open slots” in your account that can be assigned to participants at any time within one year. Open slots expire one year from the purchase date, but can be renewed at 50% of the current price. For details see the section: Refund and Expiration Policy.
  • Participants can access their TKI assessment for 90 days from when they are first assigned their TKI assessment via a spreadsheet, as described in the section: How to Assign TKIs to 1 or More Participants.
How to Assign TKIs to 1 or More Participants

After you’ve made your purchase, be sure to download the KD_Spreadsheet and carefully follow the instructions.

If you are purchasing the TKI for one other person, please fill out the spreadsheet for just that ONE person.

If you’ll be taking the TKI along with other participants in your group, please make sure to also include YOUR information on the KD_Spreadsheet.

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

  1.  Assessment Launch Date
    Please provide the date, time (on the hour), and time zone when you would like us to import your spreadsheet and launch the TKI assessment for your participants.
    Examples:
    • Jan 5, 2026 at 8:00 AM PST
    • ASAP
  2. Receiving Participant TKI Reports
    Please let us know if you would like to automatically receive each participant’s TKI Report when they complete their assessment.
    Examples:
    • I want to receive participant reports upon completion (default).
    • I do NOT want to receive participant reports.
  3. Participant Access to TKI Reports
    Would you like participants to have immediate access to download their TKI Reports upon completing the assessment (default), or would you prefer that report access be denied so that only you can distribute the reports?
    Examples:
    • Allow participants to download their reports immediately after completing the assessment.
    • Deny report access so participants cannot download their reports.
  4. Reminder Email
    If desired, please provide the date, time (on the hour), and time zone when you would like us to send a one-time reminder email to participants who have not yet completed their assessment.
    Example: Jan 10, 2026 at 8:00 AM PST

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 the TKI assessment 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).

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 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 the TKI assessment tool.

Expiration Policy: For most group TKI purchases, the number of persons listed on the spreadsheet will equal the quantity of TKIs that you just purchased. However, if you purchased a larger quantity of 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 a 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 the TKI assessment.

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

You will receive each participant’s TKI Individual Report immediately upon completion (default), unless you request otherwise.

For purchases of 10 or more TKI assessments, we provide an Extra Services Bundle that is designed to help you track participant completion and conveniently access TKI Reports. 

  1. 1 Status Report that lists all those participants in your group account who have—or have not—completed their TKI assessment.
  2. 1 Zip File that includes TKI Reports for all the participants in your group who have completed their TKI assessment.

Please specify the date and time you would like to receive each of these items (Monday–Friday, 8AM–5PM Pacific Time). Example: Jan 12, 2026 at 8:00 AM PST

$50 PER PERSON TO PURCHASE THE TKI ASSESSMENT WITH INDIVIDUAL REPORTS

ENTER THE NUMBER OF TKIs WITH INDIVIDUAL REPORTS YOU WISH TO PURCHASE FOR YOUR PARTICIPANTS, or leave the default as 1, if you are making this purchase for just 1 other person.

If you enter 50 or more TKIs in the Quantity textbox, the total charge will be based on the relevant quantity discount (presented earlier).

Just like “death and taxes,” conflict is inevitable! Why? Because no two individuals have exactly the same needs and concerns, conflict is a natural part of our interactions with others—whether in our personal life or in our organizational life.

Your personalized TKI results will reveal which of the five conflict modes you might be using too much or too little… or just right. With such enhanced self-awareness about your conflict-handling behavior, you’ll be able to easily recognize the most appropriate uses for each of the five conflict-handling modes depending on the key attributes of the situation, which will significantly enhance your skills for resolving all kinds of conflicts and problems—whether at work or at home.

Just so you know… the TKI has been the world-wide leader in conflict resolution assessment for more than fifty years. Since 1974, more than 10 million copies of the TKI have been sold.

Taking the TKI assessment in different languages: If you wish to take an online TKI 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 TKI in the chosen language, yet your TKI Report is provided in U.S. English or (2) taking your TKI in the chosen language and then downloading your TKI Report in that same translation. You can also purchase a TKI paper booklet or self-scorable TKI ebook from The Myers-Briggs Company in more than ten different languages. To learn more, visit: 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.
