Conducting projects in teams might tend to conflict in smaller or bigger range of different causes. From a study stating the importance of conflict management by Thomas K.W. and Schmidt W.H. at the University of California, Los Angeles <ref name="Thomas and Schmidt"Academy of Management Journal, Thomas, K. W., and Schmidt, W. H., "A survey of Managerial Interest with Respect to Conflict",1976 </ref>, it is shown that managers spend around 20 percent of their time dealing with conflicts. Another part of the survey worth pointing out is the sources of conflict. The managers show more interest in psychological factors such as misunderstanding (communication failure), personality clashes and value differences. This article will address the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a tool with a purpose to help indicate personal communication preferences. It is a useful tool when managing a project as the indicator helps to build communication patterns and ideally analyze and prevent sources of conflict within a team(*demonstration of the tool.pdf).

From a study stating the importance of conflict management by Thomas K.W. and Schmidt W.H. at the University of California, Los Angeles (cite), a survey shows that managers spend around 20 percent of their time on conflicts. Another interesting factor to point out from the surveyis the interest in the sources of conflict. The managers shows more interest in psychological factors such as misunderstanding (communication failure), personality clashes and value differences. Dealing with these sources of conflict, the first step towards personal and professional growth is awknowledging your own and your coworkers personal preferences and diversities.
