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 individual 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.

The Price of Two TKIs for Yourself: $100 for a pair of TKIs

Your Access to the Two TKIs: 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 immediately available to download 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.

OR FOR 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.

There are several benefits to having participants take two TKIs, each with modified instructions, to assess how they manage conflict. 

(1) INSIDE their group and

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

By taking these two modified TKI assessments, participants will 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. See the TAB below: Customizing the TKI Instructions.

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

INDIVIDUAL REPORTS FOR PARTICIPANTS

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

NOTE: Participants will be able to download their reports immediately after completing their TKI Assessments (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 a Pair of TKIs to 1 or More Participants.

GOOD TO KNOW

You, the buyer, will receive each participant’s TKI Individual Reports (1 for Inside, 1 for Outside) immediately upon completion (default), unless you request otherwise. 

Page 4 of each participant’s TKI Reports 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 Two TKIs Per Person—Individual Reports for INSIDE/OUTSIDE, 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 A PAIR OF TKIS

$100 per person

QUANTITY DISCOUNTS FOR TWO TKIs 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.

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 below: Refund and Expiration Policy.
  • 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: How to Assign a Pair of TKIs to 1 or More Participants.
How to Assign a Pair of TKIs to 1 or More Participants

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

Complete a single KD_Spreadsheet with one row per individual. We will assign two TKIs to each person listed. 

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

If you’ll be taking two TKIs 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 assessments 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 Reports when they complete their assessments (default).
    Examples:
    • I want to receive participant reports upon completion.
    • 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 assessments (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 assessments.
    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 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).

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 pair(s) of TKIs 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 TKI pairs that you just purchased. However, if you purchased a larger quantity of TKI pairs 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 pair of TKI Reports immediately upon completion (default), unless you request otherwise.

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

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

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

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.

NOTE: 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.”
