Discover the profiling tool that reveals your brain’s preferences in leadership, love, parenting, and more.

Most people think of “profiling tools” as something you take once to learn your “type” — maybe for a job interview or personal development retreat.

But the NBI™ (Neethling Brain Instruments) assessment is different.

It doesn’t just tell you what you are.

It shows you how you think — and how your thinking preferences show up in multiple areas of your life.

And once you can see the map of how your brain prefers to operate, everything gets easier: communication, decision-making, conflict resolution, productivity, and even parenting.

This is why I consider the NBI™ one of the most underrated yet powerful tools in the world of leadership, relationships, and healing.

Let me show you why.

🧠 Thinking Preferences Aren’t One-Size-Fits-All

Most profiling tools give you a single result — a personality type, a number, a quadrant. But the truth is, we don’t show up the same way in every context.

We might lead with confidence at work but feel completely unsure in parenting.

We might be visionary in business and yet crave structure in our personal life.

We might be logical under pressure but deeply intuitive when relaxed.

NBI™ measures your thinking preferences contextually — across leadership, relationships, decision-making, learning, creativity, and more.

You get to see not only your natural strengths, but how they shift depending on the role you’re in and the energy you’re under.

🔍 What the NBI™ Profiles Measure

Each NBI™ instrument is designed to measure how your brain prefers to think in different scenarios. These include:

General Thinking Preferences – your baseline blueprint
Leadership Style – how you naturally influence and motivate
Relationship Style – how you connect, resolve conflict, and express care
Parenting Style – how you guide, support, and discipline your children
Creativity Profile – how you ideate, problem-solve, and innovate
Entrepreneurial Style – how you take risks, spot opportunities, and build
Learning Style – how you absorb and retain new information

In each profile, your thinking is mapped across four quadrants — Analytical (L1), Procedural (L2), Relational (R2), and Strategic/Imaginative (R1). These reflect both left- and right-brain thinking in action.

⚡ Why This Matters

Understanding how you think in each context helps you:

Stop over-identifying with just one way of being (you’re not just a logical thinker or just a feeler)
Adapt your communication based on who you’re speaking to
Identify the real source of friction in work or relationships
Spot hidden biases in decision-making
Recover energy by spending more time in your natural zone

I’ve used this tool with everyone from CEOs to first-time parents, and every time I see the same lightbulb moment:

“Ohhh… no wonder I feel off.”

The profile doesn’t label you. It liberates you.

🌀 How I Use NBI™ in My Work

I use NBI™ as part of my Energy Syncing™ process — a proprietary method that blends neuroscience, healing, and systems thinking to help people align their energy to their next level of income, impact, or inner peace.

Here’s what that looks like:

We begin by mapping your thinking preferences across key areas of life
We then look at where there’s conflict between how you're wired and what you're doing
From there, we work to sync your choices, environments, and relationships with your true genius
The result? You stop pushing. You start flowing.

✨ Real Life Example: The Burnt-Out Overachiever

One of my clients — a highly successful entrepreneur — came to me feeling disconnected and exhausted.

Her general profile showed high L1 (Analytical) and R1 (Visionary) preferences. But in her relationship profile, her scores skewed toward R2 (Relational), a quadrant she was underusing daily.

This mismatch was costing her — emotionally and energetically. She was overusing her strengths and neglecting her needs.

Once we identified that, we created space in her schedule for more personal connection and expressive outlets — and she instantly felt more alive.

That’s the power of syncing your life with your brain’s actual wiring.
