The Neethling Brain Instruments (NBI®) is a revolutionary battery of instruments that strives to develop whole-brain thinking in individuals. Your own thinking preference directly influences how you chose to teach.
A person’s brain is divided into four different thinking quadrants:
L1 – Analytical and factual – focus on logic, facts and analysis
L2 – Organised and detailed – focus on practical applications and sequential thinking
R2 – Interpersonal and sensitive – focus on relationships, emotions and intuition
R1 – Strategic and unorthodox – values creativity, innovation and holistic thinking
Each of the four quadrants is further divided in 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
- Organise your classroom
- Communicate your thoughts
- Structure your lessons
- Solve problems
- Form relationships etc
Applications include:
Tapping Into Potential – Understand your own thinking preference, how this brings you energy and how you differ from others
Improved Teaching & Learning – Once you know your ownpreference, you can use the Whole Brain stratgey to ensure you connect in all four quadrants with your learners.
Enhanced Teamwork – This will give you insight into how to better understand your colleagues with different styles.
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.
