BUSINESS & TEAMS PROFILES
In the contemporary world of work, the key to success is not physical or tangible resources, but ‘human’ resources. The ability to tap into the skills, knowledge, and insight of employees, clients, and suppliers is what sets a business apart.
Embracing this understanding of human resources and thinking preferences can pave the way for your business to grow and advance, putting you ahead of the pack in the competitive business landscape. Understanding personal thinking preferences is a versatile tool that can be applied in almost any area of business, giving your company a competitive edge and boosting performance across the board.
Note: Please note none of these profiles include a Professional feedback session by a Certified NBI Practitioner. For a feedback session, please search in the map below to find a practitioner near you or online.
NBI General Adult
This instrument measures thinking preferences, which are how individuals naturally prefer to process information and make decisions. Gaining insight into our thinking preferences 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. For instance, understanding that a team member has a preference for detailed planning can help you assign tasks that align with their strengths, leading to more effective teamwork. 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 neither good nor bad. 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.
The NBI® profile, focusing on thinking preferences, is not about being good or bad. It’s about providing an objective analysis of your thinking choices. No profile is better or worse than another, it’s simply a reflection of your unique thinking style.
Why do we need two types of NBI® – one to focus on thinking preferences and the other to assess skills?
Understanding your thinking preferences can also highlight areas for growth. For instance, you might have a strong preference for order, planning, and organisation, but lack the skills to implement them. This awareness can guide you in developing these skills, leading to personal and professional growth.
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 – Organised and detailed
R2 – Interpersonal and sensitive
R1 – Strategic and unorthodox
Each of the four quadrants is further divided into two to give 8 distinct dimensions to a person’s 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 sports etc.

NBI Skills
This Instrument is a powerful tool for identifying an individual’s skills. It’s possible that you’ve acquired skills in a particular area that don’t align with your brain preference, or that you have a strong preference in one area but haven’t had the chance to develop the necessary skills. This underscores the importance of self-awareness in personal development, empowering you to take control of your growth.
It’s important to note that your skills profile could differ from your 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 do not have any singing skills.
The opposite is also sometimes true. A person may have excellent skills for accounting but has little or no preference for doing the work of an accountant. It’s important to note that if the correlation between the preference profile and skills profile is low, it would be very difficult to sustain passion and energy.

NBI Leadership Style
Your Leadership Brain Profile is a tool for growth and improvement. It provides insights into your leadership style, highlights issues that are important to you, and identifies areas for development. This knowledge can be a powerful motivator for personal and professional growth.
Developing better relationships, making more dynamic contributions in the workplace, and making sound and relevant decisions are but a few of the advantages of understanding your own thinking profile.
The Leadership Profile is an objective analysis of your thinking choices. It’s not about being better or worse than others, but about understanding your unique thought preferences. This objectivity reassures you that the recommendations are based on a thorough understanding of your leadership style.
The Leadership Profile measures thinking preferences, and not the skills or abilities necessary to execute those preferences. It is, therefore, possible that an individual could have a very strong preference for order, planning and organisation, but has never had the opportunity to develop the skills to plan and organise. The recommendation in this instance would be that, since the desire is there, the skills to support that desire should be developed in order to be effective in a given career.

NBI Desired Job
By completing the 15 questions you clearly indicated the kind of JOB you 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 you compare your personal profile (four and eight dimensions) to your desired job profile – the higher the correlation between these two profiles the better the possibility that your desired job the is the correct choice.

NBI Business Relationship Style
Your Business Relationship Style profile is a powerful tool that provides insights into your unique preferences in workplace relationships. By understanding your own and your colleagues’ preferences, you can navigate work relationships with greater understanding and tolerance, reducing potential sources of frustration and criticism.
The key to successful relationships lies in tolerance and understanding of differences. It’s crucial to accept that we all have unique perspectives and ways of thinking. By practising patience and respect, we can build stronger and more harmonious work relationships.

NBI Client Relationship Style
The NBI Client Relationship profile is a fair and nonjudgmental assessment that respects individual differences. No profile is superior to the other, ensuring a balanced assessment. This tool identifies your preferences in all the quadrants when dealing with clients, providing a comprehensive understanding of your client interaction style. The profile report further clarifies high, average, and low scores in each of the four quadrants, offering a detailed and respectful analysis.
It could happen that a person’s Client Relationship profile, which is specific to their interactions with clients, differs from his/her general preference profile. The most common reason for this happening is that you may have learned certain skills when dealing with clients that have served you well in the past. These may not be exactly aligned with your general brain preferences.
