If you have ever wondered why certain tasks energize you while others drain you, why you communicate the way you do, or why you and the people around you seem to think so differently, the Neethling Brain Profile may give you the answers you have been looking for.
The Neethling Brain Instruments™ (NBI) are a suite of neuroscience-based assessments that provide insights into thinking preferences. Understanding your thinking preferences, as well as the thinking preferences of others, can have profound implications for personal effectiveness in a number of areas. These areas may include interpersonal communication, leadership, management, team dynamics, creativity, presentations, training workshop design, and more.
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. 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. The information gained through the NBI™ can be applied in many walks of life, such as career guidance, relationships, placements within sports and professional teams, self-enrichment, gaining more emotional happiness, academic achievement enhancement, etc
Your thinking style is one of your greatest strengths. Book a consultation with our team to discover your Neethling Brain Profile and gain the clarity, self awareness, and practical insight your brain has been waiting to give you.
The following are a few examples of how the NBI can be utilized:
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. 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.
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® 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 profile report focuses the specific quadrant scores, and makes recommendations based on these scores
While tools like Myers Briggs and DISC assess personality traits and behavioral tendencies, the Neethling Brain Profile specifically maps thinking preferences rooted in brain quadrant theory. It focuses on how your brain naturally processes information and approaches problems, giving it a distinctly neurological foundation that makes it particularly useful when combined with brain health services like neurofeedback and QEEG assessment.
Yes. There are age appropriate versions of the NBP available for younger clients, making it a valuable tool for parents and educators looking to better understand how a child thinks and learns. Understanding a child’s thinking preferences early can have a meaningful positive impact on their education, communication, and overall wellbeing.
The assessment questionnaire itself typically takes between 20 and 30 minutes to complete. This is followed by a personalized interpretation session with one of our clinicians, where your results are explored in depth and connected to the areas of your life that matter most to you.
Absolutely. Many of our clients combine the NBP with neurofeedback therapy or a QEEG brain map for a comprehensive picture of both how their brain functions neurologically and how it naturally prefers to think and engage with the world. Together these services offer a uniquely whole brain approach to understanding and optimizing brain health and performance.
