The Neethling Brain Instruments (NBI) is a revolutionary battery of thinking styles instruments that strive to develop Whole-Brain Thinking in individuals. These tools help you understand your own thinking preferences, provides clarity on predominantly used dimensions of the brain and help structure thought patterns and appropriate communication strategy.

The NBI™ (Neethling Brain Instruments) suite of assessments was developed after almost 30 years of extensive international research on left and right-brain functions. The instruments were developed by Kobus Neethling, under the research guidance of Professor Paul Torrance of the University of Georgia.

The NBI™ Thinking Preference Assessments are a powerful suite of neuroscience- based assessments. Based on modern insights from the fields of neuroscience and creativity, the assessments help individuals, leaders, teams and organizations unlock their full potential. The NBI™ framework provides insights into left hemisphere (local processing), right hemisphere (global processing), cognitive and affective types of thinking. Such insights can lead to enhancement in the areas of social-emotional intelligence, self-awareness, creativity, leadership, communication, team performance, presentations, conflict resolution and more.

The training we received from Dr Kobus Neethling and his team made a huge impact on the energy, passion and creativity of everyone in the business. We saw the positive results immediately. It became clear to all of us we need firstly to be more creative and come up with fresh ideas all the time and secondly the Kobus Neethling whole brain approach changed the way we think about business. We realized that we need to use our whole brain to attract clients, to communicate, to sell, to lead —we need it everywhere. Also in that sense it was a life-changing experience
