Imagine that you are in conflict with a close person. What feeling dominates within you?

Select an answer:

Restless until it's resolved. Anger that the other side does not understand me. Fear that it will ruin our relationship. Interest in why the conflict occurred. The courage to assert one's opinion.

When your partner reacts irritably, your first thought is:

Select an answer:

Something bad probably happened to him, I should ask. Again, he/she is overreacting, it's better not to deal with it. I must show him that he is wrong. If I stay silent, maybe it will pass. How can we address this together?

If a partner does not fulfill their promise, how will you behave?

Select an answer:

I will try to understand why he didn't do it. I will let him know that I am disappointed. I will draw my own conclusions about his reliability. I'll wait to see if he realizes it himself. I will look for a way to fix this together.

After an argument, your partner texts you that they feel bad. How do you respond?

Select an answer:

I will write to him that I'm sorry, but I need time. I won't reply right away, leaving him to think. I am trying to resolve the situation immediately. I will respond briefly and without emotions. I will propose a meeting and a calm conversation.

If you think you are right, but your partner disagrees, what will you do?

Select an answer:

I am arguing and trying to convince him. I'll leave it as it is, let them think what they want. I suggest that we look at the situation from both sides. I am looking for a compromise, even if it means backing down. I will get angry and leave it for later.

If you had to describe your conflicts with one image, what would it be?

Select an answer:

Two waves colliding with each other. Fog in which I can't find my way. Fire that burns and destroys. Clocks that tick and wait for a solution. The puzzle I am trying to assemble.

When your partner accuses you of something that you believe is not true, what will you do?

Select an answer:

I immediately defend myself and explain my version. I will wait for it to cool down, and then I will deal with it. I will ask him why he thinks so. I am trying to divert attention to another topic. I'll let him stay in that state for a while, thinking he is right, to help him calm down.

How do you react when your partner raises their voice during a conflict?

Select an answer:

I will raise my voice too, to defend my own. I will try to stay calm and not let myself get provoked. I feel anxious and want to withdraw. I will try to calm him down with questions and understanding. I don't respond, let him calm down on his own.

After resolving an argument, you feel:

Select an answer:

Relief that it's behind us. Uncertainty about whether it is really resolved. Victorious, if I managed to impose my will. Tired, because it has exhausted me. Curiously, what can I take from that?

If you could change something about your approach to conflicts, what would it be?

Select an answer:

I would like to be calmer and less impulsive. I would like to know how to better express my feelings. I would like not to be so easily influenced by emotions. I would like to make more effort for a compromise. I would like to resolve conflicts faster and more efficiently.
