EDUCATION & PARENTING PROFILES
Our personal thinking preferences begin to develop during childhood years. They manifest in the ways in which children prefer to learn and study. In today’s competitive world, education has become more important than ever. The NBI®, with its ability to enhance children’s learning, can provide the whole-brain edge they need to become successful, well-adjusted adults, reassuring parents and educators about the effectiveness of this tool.
By identifying the personal thinking preferences of children, parents, and teachers, learning can be tailored to achieve successful results. This tailored learning approach not only reduces conflict but also fosters a more optimistic and hopeful outlook on children’s development. Study methods and learning environments can be adapted to create the ideal space for learning, leading to positive outcomes.
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.

The NBI® Creativity Style Profile is a descriptive and objective analysis of the individual’s thinking choices, with no profile being better or worse than another.

NBI Snr Student
These are instruments which measure your thinking preferences as a student. Why is it that some students prefer a quiet environment whilst others seem to work well with loud music and a messy workplace? Why are some students keen on Maths and Science whilst others prefer the arts and humanities?
Subject choices at school – and a career choice a little later – are key decisions for EVERY student!
Making the wrong choices can often lead to poor performance and years of frustration for the student, the teachers and of course the parents.
Making an informed decision on the other hand can lead to a lot of satisfaction and achievement as a student as well as an interesting and rewarding career.

NBI Student P (Picture)
The NBI Student Picture Profile 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.
The NBI Picture 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.
