NBI® General Adult     top

The NBI® General Adult instrument offers insight into the way you prefer to think, and increases your awareness of and sensitivity to, the thinking preferences of others.

Understanding your thinking profile will enable you to develop better relationships, make more dynamic contributions in a team context, and make sound and relevant decisions. It will also put you in a position to make more accurate job and career choices, and to determine the correct subject or field of study for you academic life, leading to a more productive and fulfilling personal and professional life.

Since the focus of this NBI® instrument is on thinking preferences, the end result is not good or bad, right or wrong. The NBI® provides a profile report which is a descriptive, objective analysis of an individual’s thinking preferences – no profile is better or worse than another.

NBI® Personal Negativity     top

The NBI® Personal Negativity instrument will give you greater insight into your negative thinking. It identifies the processes most likely to cause your negativity and block your happiness and success. Once you (and the organisation) have identified the essence of the negativity the right solutions become very possible.

Your NBI® General Adult profile (measuring your thinking preferences) and your NBI® 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, organisation 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® Skills     top

The NBI® Skills instrument identifies an individual’s personal skills. You may have acquired skills in a particular area that are not really indicative of your brain preferences. Alternatively, you may have a very strong preference in one area, but have never had the opportunity to develop the necessary skills in that area.

It could happen that your skills profile differs from your preference profile. The most common reason for this is that preferring (‘liking’) something does not automatically mean you have the skills to execute or implement the preference.

Sometimes the opposite is true. 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.

NBI® Relationship Style     top

The NBI® Relationship Style instrument provides insight into your relationship style and issues that are important to you (but may not be to your partner), as well as identifying where there could be room for improvement.

Developing better relationships, making more dynamic contributions within the relationship, and making sound and relevant decisions are but a few of the advantages of understanding your relationship style.

Since the focus of this NBI® instrument is on thinking preferences, the end result is not good or bad, right or wrong. The NBI® Relationship Style instrument provides a profile report which is a descriptive, objective analysis of an individual’s thinking preferences – no profile is better or worse than another. Instead, the report gives you a description of your thought preferences, and makes recommendations based on these preferences.

NBI® Creativity Style     top

The NBI® Creativity Style instrument provides insight into the way in which 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 along the way.

This instrument identifies the type of creativity you prefer and apply. Since the focus of this NBI® instrument is on thinking preferences, the end result is not good or bad, right or wrong. The NBI® Creativity Style instrument provides a profile report which is a descriptive, objective analysis of an individual’s thinking preferences – no profile is better or worse than another. Instead, the report gives you a description of your thought preferences, and makes recommendations based on these preferences.
