¶ … Conflict
How do I react to conflict? I took the Conflict Style Questionnaire and for the rating on person "A," I had 4 out of five between 15 and 20, which is representative of a "strong style." That is a dear female friend of mine and I tend to say away from strong arguments, hence several number "4's" in that part of the questionnaire.
The second person ("B") I included in my rating was a person whom I argue with often, who has an intolerably hard-nosed stand on political and environmental issues. Otherwise he's a gentleman, a good father and friend, and we go to ballgames together where political issues never are raised. But when we talk about government or the environment, he's quite far to the right. For example, I never try to "split the difference" (#3) because he gets his information on global climate change from a right wing radio personality, and I get my information from the empirical science reported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). There is no splitting the difference when it comes to science and ideology. Frankly, in this matter, I'm informed and he is ill-informed.

Conflict Based on the results of the Conflict Style Survey I have undertaken, my conflict style is 'compete.' It is represented by color blue.
