Intercultural Conflict Style Inventory (ICS)

ICB brand

The Intercultural Conflict Style Inventory (ICS) is a cross-culturally valid and reliable assessment of an individual’s core approach for solving problems and resolving disputes with others. The ICS Inventory assesses culturally learned approaches for communicating information and resolving conflict in terms of Direct or Indirect strategies for “working through” substantive disagreements and emotionally Restrained or Expressive approaches for dealing with emotional upset. Combining these approaches results in four cross-cultural conflict resolution styles: Discussion, Engagement, Accommodation, and Dynamic. To learn more about this tool, visit Intercultural Conflict Style Inventory's website.
