| NBI® ADULT INSTRUMENT |
This instrument measures thinking preferences. Gaining insight into the way we prefer to think makes us more aware of and sensitive to the preferences of others.
Developing better relationships, making more dynamic contributions in the team and making sound and relevant decisions are but a few of the advantages of understanding your own thinking profile. Making more accurate job and career choices or determining the correct subject or study selections, could eventually lead to a more productive and fulfilled personal and professional life.
Because the focus of this NBI® profile is on thinking preferences, the end result is not good or bad, right or wrong. The NBI® provides a profile of thinking preference which is a descriptive, objective analysis of the individual's thinking choices, with no profile being better or worse than another.
Why do we need two types of NBI® ? One to focus on thinking preferences and the other to assess skills.
A person could well have a preference for certain things without the ability to see it through. For example, it is possible that an individual could have a very strong preference for ordering, planning and organizing, but has never had the opportunity to develop the skills to plan and organize.
On the other hand, it is possible that a person could have excellent skills to be a banker, but have a very low preference for the processes associated with the job. This, of course, could lead to a lot of frustration! The individual would therefore not be able to sustain the passion and energy to stay happy and productive in the banking environment.
A person's brain is divided into four different thinking quadrants:
L1 – Analytical and factual
L2 – Organized and detailed
R2 – Interpersonal and sensitive
R1 – Strategic and unorthodox
Each of the four quadrants is further divided in two to give 8 distinct dimensions to a persons thinking preference. |
| The Brain Profile gives an indication of how: |
- You act towards other people
- You do business
- You communicate
- You learn
- You teach
- You solve problems
- You form relationships
- You play sport etc.

NBI® TEACHER/TRAINER INSTRUMENT
The NBI® Teacher/Trainer Instrument is a special version of the adult instrument. The focus is on your thinking preferences in the teaching and training environment. The brain profile and the report are written with a teacher/trainer focus.
NBI® YOUNG CHILD INSTRUMENT
This indicator measures preferences. It is very important that you, as teacher and parent, should understand that your thinking preferences and those of your child will determine amongst other things how you make decisions, communicate, educate, form relationships and eventually, how you live your life. Insight and knowledge regarding your brain profile and that of your child will:
Give your child the ultimate edge in coping with his/her world.
Give you unique insights into your child’s thinking preferences.
Understand why one child differs from the other.
Enable you to create an ideal environment for your child.
Apply whole brain creativity.
Know why one child communicates, plays and learns differently from the other.
Fill the gaps at an early age.
Make you the whole brain parent/teacher you always wanted to be.
NBI® STUDENT INSTRUMENT
This is an instrument which measures your thinking preferences as a student. Why is it that some students prefer a quiet environment whilst others seem to work well with loud music and a messy workplace? Why are some students keen on math’s and science whilst others prefer the arts and humanities?
Subject choices at school – and career choice a little later – are key decisions for EVERY student!
Making the wrong choices can often lead to poor performance and years of frustration for the student, the teachers, and of course the parents.
Making an informed decision on the other hand can lead to a lot of satisfaction and achievement as a student as well as an interesting and rewarding career.
Because subject and career choice is so important for future success and happiness, the NBI® Student Instrument is offered at a special subsidized rate!
The student instrument is available to suit two age groups – the junior student from age 9–17 years and the senior student from 17 years and above.
NBI® PARENTING INSTRUMENT
Your Parenting Brain Profile will give you an insight into your parenting style; issues that are important to you (but maybe not to your child or partner!) and even where there could be room for improvement!
Developing better relationships, making more dynamic contributions in the family and making sound and relevant decisions are but a few of the advantages of understanding your own thinking profile.
Because the focus is on thinking preferences the end result is not good or bad, right or wrong.

NBI® LEADERSHIP INSTRUMENT
Your Leadership Brain Profile will give you an insight into your leadership style, the preferences which guide you when operating in a leadership role. These are typically issues that are important to you. But it may be that your staff or colleagues see things differently and have different thinking preferences and ways of operating. This means that you could discover some gaps in your leadership style and areas where there could be room for improvement!

NBI® RELATIONSHIPS INSTRUMENT
Your Relationship Brain Profile will give you an insight into your preferred way of thinking and the impact that might have on how you develop relationships, especially with your husband, wife or partner. Your relationship thinking preferences will inevitably have an impact on your partner; and their thinking preferences will undoubtedly impact on you.
Do opposites attract? Do you need to have similar profiles in order to ‘get on’ well?
Anything and everything is possible, but there will always be implications for different thinking preferences working together. If both of you complete the relationship profile, you will be well on the way to understanding where each other is coming from and what you might need to understand and do in order for the relationship to flourish.

NBI® CREATIVITY INSTRUMENT
Your Creativity Brain Profile will give you an insight into "how you are creative." Every human being is born with creativity at a superior level, but unfortunately the majority of us lose some of our creativity because of conditioning processes.
This Instrument identifies the type of creativity you use and apply. Because the focus is on thinking preferences the end result is not good or bad, right or wrong. The NBI® Creativity Profile is a descriptive, objective analysis of the individual's thinking choices, with no profile being better or worse than another.

NBI® PERSONAL SKILLS INSTRUMENT
This instrument identifies an individual's skills. You may have acquired skills in a particular area that is not really indicative of your thinking preference or you may have a very strong thinking preference in one area, but have never had the opportunity to develop the necessary skills.
It could happen that your personal skills profile differs from your thinking preference profile. The most common reason for this happening is that preferring ("liking") something does not automatically mean you have the skills to execute or implement the preference. You may like singing but not have any singing skills!
It is also possible that you may be highly skilled in two activities, both falling within the same quadrant, but only like using one of the skills sets. You may therefore be good at doing something but not enjoy it, or conversely enjoy something but not be very good at it.
For example, a person may have excellent skills for accounting but have little or no preference for doing the work of an accountant. It would be very difficult to sustain passion and energy, if the correlation between the preference profile and skills profile is low.
Comparing the skills profile with your adult preference profile will complete the picture for you
NBI® PERSONAL NEGATIVITY INSTRUMENT
The NBI® Personal Negativity Instrument will give you a greater insight into your negative thinking. It identifies the processes most likely to cause your negativity and which can block your happiness and success.
Your standard Adult Profile (measuring your thinking preferences) and your Personal Negativity Profile will not look the same. In fact, you will often have a high negativity score in a quadrant where you have low brain preferences. For example, you may have low brain preferences for detail, organization and structure (the L2 quadrant). When working in an environment where these processes receive strong emphasis, you may experience high negativity towards these processes and therefore have a high negativity score in this quadrant.
NBI® RUGBY INSTRUMENT
