Problem Solving

This is your conflict resolution profile. Note that your score for each approach can range from a low of 0 to a high of 12. The approach with the highest score is your preferred approach to conflict. The second highest is the one you tend to use under pressure.

Due to having my highest score in problem solving I would say that I completely agree with my results. This makes the most sense because I do normally tend to want to find a solution to any problem at hand. Doing this survey showed me a lot about myself and showed me certain things I did not know about by myself.
