The Conflict Dynamics Profile (CDP), an assessment instrument which measures conflict behaviors, is 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 can escalate conflict, and how to manage conflict more effectively.

Two versions of the instrument, the CDP-Individual (CDP-I) and CDP-360, emphasize action-oriented approaches which lead to real improvement. A thorough development guide provides information and tips for coping with conflict and building strong interpersonal relationships. In addition to feedback on 15 scales, both versions of the CDP have a unique Hot Buttons section which identifies emotional triggers that negatively impact relationships.

CDP-Individual (CDP-I)

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-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 supervisors, peers, and direct reports. The CDP-360 is particularly helpful for leaders, managers, and high-potential employees for whom conflict can be particularly challenging.
