Understand your conflict before you act
A free guided assessment. It offers a marker on a 9-stage scale, possible sources of your conflict, an estimate of your readiness to dialogue and suggestions for what comes next, with questions to reflect on and tools to move forward.
Assessment inspired by the mediation literature (Moore, Glasl, Thomas-Kilmann…). See the method and references
For which situations?
The assessment suits a conflict between individuals as well as a conflict in an organization. Pick the page that looks like your case: it leads to the quick overview with your context already chosen.
Quick or in-depth: which to choose?

You can start with the quick version, then go deeper without starting over: your answers are kept in your browser for the session.
What the assessment does not do
- It gives no clinical diagnosis and does not replace a psychological assessment.
- It gives no legal advice.
- It has not yet been validated by a psychometric study: its results are hypotheses to explore, not a verdict.
Its method, thresholds and references are detailed on the Method and references page. See the method and references.
