The Conflict Dynamics Profile (CDP) is an assessment that measures conflict behaviors.  It’s an excellent resource to increase self-awareness and improve conflict management skills. The CDP is unlike any other assessment tool in that it focuses specifically on conflict behaviors, rather than styles. It helps individuals and teams understand how they respond to conflict, what triggers or escalates conflict, and how to manage conflict more effectively.

Two versions of the instrument—the CDP-Individual (CDP-I) and CDP-360— emphasize an action-oriented approach which leads to real improvement. A thorough Development Guide provides information and tips for coping with conflict and building strong interpersonal relationships.

CDP-Individual

As a “self-report,” the (CDP-I) looks at how you view yourself. It provides a simple way of helping you understand more about how you respond to conflict both behaviorally and emotionally.

CDP-I Benefits:

  • Quick and easy administration
  • Inexpensive pricing
  • Behavioral feedback which is easy to understand
  • Information on emotional aspects of conflict
  • Abbreviated Development Guide
  • Group reports for intact teams

CDP-360°

The CDP-360 enables you to compare your own perceptions about how you behave during conflict with those of your colleagues. It provides a complete “conflict profile” with feedback from bosses, peers, and direct reports. The CDP-360 is particularly helpful for leaders, managers, and high-potential employees for whom conflict can be particularly challenging.

In addition to feedback on 15 scales, both versions of the CDP have a unique “hot buttons” section which identifies the emotional triggers that negatively impact relationships.

CDP-360 Benefits:

  • In-depth view of conflict behaviors
  • Detailed analysis of the 15 scales
  • Perceptions of colleagues and managers
  • Comprehensive Development Guide
  • Concrete suggestions for improving behavior patterns
  • Group reports for intact teams
