WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

Conflict Situations Questionnaire Test - Description and methodology of the test

behavior in conflict

People who want to examine how they communicate during disagreement can use the Conflict Situations Questionnaire Test to compare several response tendencies across interpersonal dilemmas. The questionnaire offers a structured way to reflect on conflict communication, including competing needs, hurt, responsibility, and possible solutions. Its profile describes endorsed response patterns to the presented situations, not behaviour observed repeatedly over time.

What This Assessment Measures

Scenarios depict disagreements. Ratings describe patterns, not correct answers.

Dimensions:

  • Irony (5-35) measures indirect, covert partner-directed verbal aggression, including mockery and sarcasm: Low 5-14; Moderate 15-24; High 25-35.
  • Partner Blaming (5-35) measures partner-directed anger, including blame, insults, and threats: Low accusing 5-15; Moderate accusing 16-25; High accusing 26-35.
  • Problem-Solving Proposals (5-35) measures solution-seeking and compromise: Low solution focus 5-15; Moderate solution focus 16-25; High solution focus 26-35.
  • Expression of Feelings (5-35) measures expressing feelings and viewpoints: Reserved expression 5-15; Situational openness 16-25; Open expression 26-35.
  • Acknowledgment of Partner's Feelings (5-35) acknowledges a partner's feelings and goals: Low acknowledgment 5-15; Moderate acknowledgment 16-25; High acknowledgment 26-35.

These dimensions show interpersonal conflict responses captured by the questionnaire.

Methodology and Evidence Base

This scenario-based self-report format presents five possible statements in each scenario, and respondents rate each one on a 1-7 scale for how strongly the person should say it. Separate displayed results are provided for the five dimensions. The statements represent distinct interpersonal moves.

Conceptually, the questionnaire is consistent with a 2021 study by Sinelnikova and Wigboldus on conflict interaction through socially meaningful situations. It is also compatible with the conflict-mode perspective associated with the MODE instrument developed by Kilmann and Thomas, where responses are discussed as competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, or accommodating. Its displayed bands are descriptive categories rather than validated population norms.

Read this questionnaire’s conflict response patterns comparatively: a higher result signals more endorsement of the behavior described by that dimension, while a lower result signals less. Hypothetical situations remain sensitive to mood, experience, social desirability, and scenario interpretation; the profile is therefore a self-reflection aid, not a clinical diagnosis.
