Brain Profile Tools
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.
The NBI® Adult A instrument is an alternative to the general Adult instrument with questions that focus more on general life.
The NBI® Adult P is a preference picture profile for illiterate adults. The report is the same as for the NBI Adult 4 quadrants.
The NBI Teacher/Trainer instrument offers insight into the way you as teacher prefer to think. The questions are the same as for the Adult instrument, but this instrument includes an extra static page with information on how the different quadrants influence your teaching style.
The NBI® Senior Student instrument measures your thinking preferences as a student (from the age of 16). Subject choices are key decisions for every student. Making an informed decision can lead to a great measure of satisfaction and achievement for the student, as well as to an interesting and rewarding career.
The NBI® Student instrument measures your thinking preferences as a young
student (10-15 years). The NBI Student instrument does not include the 8 dimensions.
The NBI® Student P is a picture profile for young students between 7 and 10 years. It was developed for students still developing their reading skills. The report is the same as for the NBI Student 4 quadrants.
The NBI® Young Child Indicator measures the thinking preferences of young children (4–8 years). This instrument only indicates whether the child is left brain or right brain dominant, and is not divided into four quadrants. As a parent or teacher, it is very important to know that children’s thinking preferences determine how they make decisions, communicate and socialize. The NBI Young Child Indicator does not include the 8 dimensions.
The following instruments must always be used in conjunction with one of the thinking
preference profiles mentioned above. It is important to note that these profiles may differ
from your thinking preference profile.
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.
The NBI® Personal Negativity instrument will give you greater insight into the origin of your negative thinking. It identifies the processes most likely to cause your negativity and to block your happiness and success. Once you (and the organisation) have identified the essence of the negativity the right solutions become very possible.
The NBI® Job instrument is a descriptive, non-judgmental assessment that identifies
the skills needed in every quadrant in order to succeed at a particular job. The Job profile report focuses on the specific quadrant scores, and makes recommendations based on these scores. This instrument can be used to design the job profiles of every existing and future jobs in the company – and to gain an understanding of the type of people who should fill those jobs.
The following are 15-question instruments and should always be used in conjunction with
one of the thinking preference profiles.
The NBI® Leadership Style instrument provides insight into your leadership style and issues that are important to you (but may not be to your staff or colleagues), as well as identifying where there may be gaps in your leadership approaches.
The NBI® Creativity Style instrument provides insight into the way you approach creativity and where your creative strengths lie. The instrument identifies the type of creativity you prefer and apply.
The NBI® Parenting Style instrument provides insight into your parenting style and issues that are important to you (but may not be to your child or partner), as well as identifying where there could be room for improvement.
The NBI® Learning Style instrument provides insight into your learning style and issues that are important to you when studying, as well as identifying where you may have to focus your efforts.
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 behaviour that could improve your relationship.

The various NBI® Sport instruments give insight into the way you prefer to think during the game, and will make you more aware of the thinking styles of fellow players. These instruments should also be used in conjunction with your thinking preference profile. Developing your game and making better decisions during key moments will lead to a better understanding and overall picture of the game.
The various NBI® Sport profiles measure thinking preferences, rather than the skills or abilities necessary to execute those preferences. It is therefore possible that you could have a very strong preference for playing with preciseness and accuracy (L1), but may not have had the opportunity to develop all the skills to accomplish these goals. On the other hand, it is possible that you could have excellent skills and technique, but a low preference in the left side of the brain. This could lead to a rejection of the skills learned and to a riskier approach to the game.
Habits: The NBI® Eating Habits instrument provides insight into your weight-loss style and approaches. It highlights issues that are important to you, as well as identifying where there could be room for improvement.
The NBI® Innovator Role instrument identifies the skills needed to fulfil a specific innovation role well. The Innovator Role Profile report focuses on the specific quadrant scores and makes recommendations based on these scores. This instrument can therefore be used to design a profile for a specific innovation role.
The NBI® Driving assessment identifies the thinking preferences of road users. It gives insight into the way a person prefers to think while driving and makes you more aware and sensitive to the thinking styles of fellow drivers.
Understanding thinking preferences around driving will lead to better decisions during key moments and will lead to safer roads.
The NBI® Business Analyst assessment identifies the thinking preferences of the Business Analyst. It gives insight into the way the Business Analyst prefers to think during projects and makes him/her more aware and sensitive to the thinking styles of fellow role players.
Understanding the thinking associated with the four quadrants of the brain will assist the Business Analyst in making better decisions during key moments, will lead to a better understanding and an overall picture of the project. Making better choices will lead to an improved and more fulfilled experience.
The premise of the NBI® Wealth Instrument is to determine the thinking profile of an individual when he or she has to make investment decisions. It further indicates the type of financial advisor he/she would prefer.
Job: The NBI® Desired Job Instrument indicates the kind of JOB the candidate would like to have one day. The total score of every participant is 300 which means that there is no profile which is superior or better than the other. The different Job profiles do however show which skills, insights, thinking and attitudes are required to do well in particular jobs.
The profile report focuses on the specific quadrant scores and makes recommendations based on these scores. It is also recommended that candidates compare their personal profile (four and eight dimensions) to their desired job profile – the higher the correlation between these two profiles the better the possibility that the desired job is the correct choice.
The NBI® Feedback instrument will give you an insight into the type of manager that you prefer and how that impacts your followership style. It will highlight issues that are important to you (but maybe not to your employer or colleagues). This profile can have a dramatic impact on leadership in organisations as it deepens the understanding of the needs of employees and can lead to greater happiness at work.
Your Business Relationship Style profile will give you insight into
your preferences in relationships in the workplace. Insights into your own and your colleagues’ unique preferences and how this impact on your work relationships will go a long way towards growing understanding and tolerance instead of frustration and criticism.
The password to successful relationships is tolerance with respect to differences, accepting the fact that we don’t all think the same way.
