  Negotiation Styles

Please read the statements and click in the box that shows your degree of agreement or disagreement with them. Avoid trying to anticipate the 'correct' views because there are none.

Once you have answered all 20 questions, click on the Submit Questionnaire button at the bottom of the page.  Your answers will be processed and displayed on the next page.

Your reactions will be used to identify your preferred behaviour when negotiating. After completing this, please print off a copy of your results and bring it with you to your workshop.
