NBI BRAIN PROFILING – How does it work

I am a registered NBI Practitioner – NBI PRAC NO. SA 010-1770

The NBI® is one of the world’s leading diagnostic instruments.

The Neethling Brain Instruments (NBI®) is a revolutionary battery of instruments that strives to develop whole-brain thinking in individuals. These assessment tools will help you develop strategies to sustain creativity and positive thinking in your personal and professional life. You will also be able to identify the essence of your problems and apply creative solutions immediately.

How was the NBI® developed?

The NBI® was developed after almost 30 years of extensive international research on left and right-brain functions. The instruments were developed by Kobus Neethling, under the research guidance of Professor Paul Torrance of the University of Georgia. Ongoing research at several universities and institutes remains an integral part of the NBI® and whole-brain science in general.

What will the NBI® tell me?

The NBI® indicates how you: • communicate • act towards other people or in certain situations • do business • learn • teach • would manage in a certain career • solve problems • make decisions.

The NBI® enables you to: • develop effective teams • resolve conflicts in your personal and professional life • receive the best guidance in choosing a new career • improve the level of creativity and leadership in your business • select the best-suited employees for new positions • retain valuable employees • choose the best course of study • develop the whole-brain mental edge in your sport and lifestyle changes.

How does NBI® work?

The NBI® is a 30-question diagnostic survey that indicates your thinking preferences AS THEY ARE TODAY. Your thinking preferences influence the way you communicate, make decisions, solve problems, and manage those around you. Understanding your thinking preferences can give you a new perspective on yourself and those you interact with every day.

With the four quadrants as the basis, we are proud to introduce the 8 Dimensions Instrument, which identifies two dimensions within each of the four quadrants. The 8 dimensions are a revolutionary aspect of the NBI® as they provide greater insight into elements within each of the four quadrants. This allows for a more thorough interpretation of an individual’s thinking preferences.

What will I get once I complete the survey?

After completing the survey, you will receive the following: • A full-colour profile of your personal thinking preferences. • An in-depth description of your profile and scores. • An interpretation and guidance by the practitioner of the implications that your results have on your life in both a personal and professional sense.  •Guidance on how to implement the new information in your life.

Trainers, consultants, human resources professionals, executive coaches, psychologists, business people, students, and parents from all walks of life use the NBI® products and services to take the guesswork out of personal and professional growth.

The Neethling Brain Instruments (NBI®) was developed and created by Dr. Kobus Neethling. It is used to measure your brain’s thinking preferences. Knowing and understanding the thinking preferences of you and other people gives a global view of how people think, communicate, and solve problems.

Your brain can be divided into different quadrants, each with its abilities and functions. The dominant quadrant from which a person thinks, and acts differs from person to person.

The Neethling Brain Instruments (NBI®) is used to measure your brain thinking preferences.

Knowing your brain’s dominance and your thinking preferences enables you to have a greater understanding of your personality and the people around you. It opens a completely different way you look at people at home, at work and everywhere you go.

The NBI® brain profile assessment is highly recommended for young couples and families with teenagers.

The NBI® brain profile assessment is also a very helpful tool to assist scholars with subject choices and later selecting the correct careers that will be supported by the whole brain thinking preferences.

It can also assist businesses in selecting the correct person for a specific job, mapping the person’s NBI®  brain profile to that of the specific job.

A comprehensive report is generated after the completion of the assessment which takes 20 minutes online. There is an additional written report and further recommendation or consultation is available at an additional cost.
