Conflict Response

Shows two separate tendencies after conflict: how strongly it affects you and how readily you look for repair. Scores compare you with other people and cannot predict a particular disagreement.

Your Conflict Response

Repair Orientation 86Emotional Impact 87

After a conflict, two things can happen at once: it may stay with you emotionally, and you may want to repair the relationship. Each score compares that tendency with other people. Around 50 is typical.

  • Emotional Impact:How strongly tension or hurt may stay with you after a disagreement.
  • Repair Orientation:How naturally you look for trust, understanding, and a way forward.

Both can be strong at the same time. A disagreement may affect you deeply while you still look for a way to repair the relationship.

What this means

This metric analyzes your conflict style by measuring two separate and independent forces within you. It's normal to score high on both at the same time:

  • Wound-Depth:
    Measures your sensitivity to the emotional impact of conflict. A high score here means you feel the hurt, anger, and stress from a disagreement very deeply, and your emotional reaction is strong and immediate.
  • Forgiveness:
    Measures your strong drive to repair relationships. A high score here means that, motivated by trust and concern for others, you seek to move past disagreements and restore harmony.

The Balance is Key: Your final conflict style is determined by the balance between these two scores. If your "Forgiveness" score is higher, your desire to repair typically overcomes your initial hurt. If your "Wound-Depth" score is higher, your emotional reaction can be so strong that it overshadows your desire to forgive.

More details

Your approach to conflict, measured on two independent scales:

  • Forgiveness: Your motivation to repair relationships after a disagreement.
  • Wound-Depth: Your emotional sensitivity to the hurt of a conflict.

Note: It is possible to score high on both. The higher of the two scores reveals your ultimate tendency—whether your drive to forgive typically overcomes the emotional hurt, or vice versa.
