This 16-question quiz will help you to understand how productive you are. Then, the discussion and resources that follow will help you identify strategies that you can use to increase your productivity, so that you can do more, with less stress.

The ability to recognize and effectively respond to cultural differences in communication and conflict styles is critically important.

The TKI is an assessment that determines how you tend to respond to conflict (your preferred method), and what additional conflict-handling options are available to you. It takes about 20 minutes to complete and there are no right or wrong answers!
