The NBI (Neethling Brain Instruments) Individual Profile Tool is for HR Managers, people leaders and individuals to measure thinking preferences, skill gaps and leadership style. The tool helps people develop self awareness and better relationships with other. It can also be used to improve teamwork, leadership and communication.
Description
The NBI Individual Profile Tool is a collection of three Neethling Brain Instruments (NBI) – the NBI™ General Adult Instrument, the NBI™ Personal Skills Instrument and the NBI™ Leadership instrument. These instruments are a series of online questionnaires that compliment each other by enabling individuals to compare personal preferences in relation to their thinking, skills and leadership styles.
This page explains each of the components of this tool, outlines the benefits and describes what you receive.
NBI™ General Adult Instrument
The NBI™ General Adult Instrument is designed to evaluate and create a profile of an individual’s thinking preferences.
The left and right sides of our brains control different aspects of our thoughts and actions. The NBI™ General Adult Instrument explores this further and describes thinking preferences based on four thinking quadrants of the brain:
- L1 – Analytical and factual (accurate, mathematical, critical, realistic, logical, performance-driven, objective)
- L2 – Organised and detailed (structured, task-driven, planned, punctual, neat, reliable, step-by-step, thorough)
- R1 – Strategic and unorthodox (big picture, imaginative, visualising, flexible, curious, risk-taking, unstructured, prefers change)
- R2 – Interpersonal and sensitive (co-operation, sociable, approachable, empathy, teamwork, people-focus, involved, respectful, feeling, body language, touch, sensitive)
Below is an example of an NBI profile showing the four quadrants. It also shows the eight dimensions – two for each quadrant.
- L1 Realist/Analyst (blue)
- L2 Preserver/Organiser (green)
- R1 Strategist/Imagineer (yellow)
- R2 Socialiser/Empathiser (red)
NBI™ Personal Skills Instrument
The NBI™ Personal Skills Instrument creates a profile that identifies your skills. It highlights skills in areas that may be different to your thinking preferences. You may also have a strong thinking preference in one quadrant but have not developed the required skills.
Liking or preferring something does not always mean you have the skills to do it well. Conversely you may be skilled at something but not like doing it. In a work environment, it is difficult to sustain passion and energy, if the correlation between the preference profile and skills profile is low.
Comparing your NBI personal skills profile with your NBI general adult preferences profile will identify skill gaps and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
NBI™ Leadership Instrument
The NBI™ Leadership Instrument creates a brain profile providing insight into leadership styles and the preferences which guide people in leadership roles. Leadership includes leading yourself and others. When leading others you will find people think differently to you.
Understanding your leadership style helps you discover areas for development and where to build on your strengths. Your leadership brain profile can help you with making decisions, building teams and understanding customers.
No NBI profile is right or wrong, good or bad. The report you receive provides an objective and descriptive view of your thought preferences, and makes recommendations based on those.
