The Dutch Test for Conflict Management My favorite style of conflict management is avoidance. He makes me feel at ease on every occasion as I try to work with everyone to reduce problems. One of my colleagues was listening to his music on the computer at such a loud volume that at that time I had to concentrate on my work which I had to complete soon. It was annoying and ruined my concentration. I knew he had a bad attitude and if I told him to mute or turn down the volume, he would get mad at me and break our friendship. Therefore, I just ignored him and let him enjoy the music rather than alert him and I lost one of my friends. I tried to stay focused and continued working while using headphones to reduce the noise. One of my neighbors uses his horn every time he comes home. It happened for a long time and repeated itself every time he drove his car. We were annoyed by the noise. Once, when we were having a chat, I asked him why he used his horn when he arrived home. He explained that he just wanted his wife to open the gate and door because he didn't have the keys. I told him that what he did was very annoying and disturbed my family. Finally, when he arrived, he never used the horn again
