A conflict profile represents a conflict situation and is understood as a set of opinions of agents or experts, who are asked to solve some common problem. Because of the autonomy of experts or agents the elements of a conflict profile often differ from each other. Thus their reconciling is needed for determining a proper opinion or solution of the problem. This proper opinion or solution is called a consensus. Susceptibility to consensus is a very important feature of conflict situations. One should say that a conflict situation just "incubates" to a consensus if it is possible to determine an agreement which is suitable for all conflict participants. We say that such conflict is susceptible to consensus. In this paper we present two methods for achieving susceptibility for conflict profiles. The first of them relies on modification of a profile by adding o removing elements so that it becomes susceptible to consensus. The second method allows determining a fuzzy weight function for the profile elements to achieve a new consensus susceptible profile. Some algorithms in the second methods are also worked out.
