The Teacher/Trainer NBI® Profile instrument offers a special version of the adult instrument. The focus is on your thinking preferences in the teaching and training environment. The brain profile and the report are written with a teacher/trainer focus.
This instrument measures thinking preferences. Gaining insight into the way we prefer to think makes us more aware and sensitive to the preferences of others. Developing better relationships, and making dynamic contributions in the classroom are a few of the advantages of understanding your thinking. 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 the NBI® Teacher/Trainer profile is on thinking preferences, the end result is neither good nor bad. It provides a profile which is a descriptive, objective analysis of the teacher’s qualities and thinking choices, no profile being better or worse.
A teacher could well have a preference for certain things without the ability to see it through. It is 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.
On the other hand, it is possible that a teacher could have excellent skills to be a researcher, but have a very low preference for the processes associated with the job. This, of course, could lead to a lot of frustration! The teacher would therefore not be able to sustain the passion and energy to stay happy and productive in the researching 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 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
- You communicate
- You learn
- You teach
- You solve problems
- You form relationships
