NBI® certification equips professionals for the new reality of the job market, which increasingly values the use of creativity and innovation.

From this knowledge, you will be able to offer them a tailored process consistent with your clients’ thinking preferences and working styles to allow them to succeed across many contexts.
When you register to receive an NBI® certification, you will take your personal assessment to understand your own brain profile. This self-knowledge will not only help you, but it will also allow you to further develop your ability to assist your clients by teaching them how to create an environment that fosters excellence. With the assessment results, powerful insights will become more and more frequent, both for the professional and the client.

What is NBI®?
To fully develop a person’s abilities and skills, the specific characteristics of their brain profiles must be analyzed and understood. NBI® is an assessment battery based on more than 60 years of research in the areas of neuroscience, psychology, and human creativity, used by professionals in more than 30 countries. The assessments reveal an individual’s cognitive emotional style and brain functions in four quadrants and eight subdimensions model, according to their thinking preferences. Specifically, each of the four quadrants of the brain revealed by the assessment is further divided in two preference levels.
For example, although an individual may not appear to possess the traits of someone with analytical, logical, and reasonable thinking or behavior, they can reveal potential in the opposing quadrants which are not revealed in other assessments. As a result, this person may possess complementary traits that have likely never been explored in consonance with their initial revealed dominance. Thus, many individuals are not fully benefiting from their own potential.
NBI® assessments include 30 questions that indicate your personal thinking preferences. These influence how you communicate, make decisions, solve problems and relate to others around you. Each response chosen in this questionnaire is current and relevant. When taking a NBI® assessment, you are making choices in accordance with who you are today.

The validity of this assessment rests upon the profiles of over 400,000 adults and children from several different countries. Keeping up with scientific progress, this assessment is undergoing constant evaluation and refinement at universities and institutes in the field, allowing for the inclusion of the most recent developments in assessment evaluation.
For over a century, studies on the brain have focused intensely on understanding its functions in the four quadrants. And, although “whole-brain thinking” is the most highly developed concept and with diverse applications, this is merely the tip of the iceberg. The eight dimensions represent a revolutionary aspect of NBI®, providing deeper insights into the elements of each quadrant. This allows for a more comprehensive interpretation of each person’s thinking preferences and brain function.
