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.

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.

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.

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:

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: 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.
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.
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
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.

The TKI Package of Three Courses on Conflict ManagementAs 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.”
