Here is a short self-assessment test (drama triangle) to check whether you tend to repeat certain patterns of behaviour in a conflict.

Although this test does not preclude the continuation of the course and is not an assessment: it is only to give you food for thought on your prevailing dynamics.

The theoretical model that is the basis of the test is called ‘Drama Triangle’ and is the subject of the module of the same name in week 3.

If you have a strong dominance in one of three roles, your conflict behaviour will often follow this default pattern, creating barriers to effective resolution of the conflict itself.
In this case, we recommend that you carefully read the following tips for the three roles of the ‘Drama Triangle’ and ask the following questions if you realize that you are falling into your dominant ‘pattern’.
