    The Herrmann Brain


    Dominance Instrument (HBDI)
    The worlds leading thinking styles assessment tool, the Herrmann
    Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) is the assessment at the
    core of Herrmann Internationals Whole Brain Thinking approach.
    Developed in the 1970s by Ned Herrmann, then a manager at
    General Electric, more than thirty years of research and innovation
    stand behind the validity of the HBDI.
    The 120-question HBDI
    assessment evaluates and
    describes the degree of
    preference individuals have for
    thinking in each of the four brain
    quadrants, as depicted by the
    Herrmann Whole Brain Model.
    Research has shown that
    everyone is capable of flexing
    to less preferred thinking
    styles and learning the skills
    The Whole Brain Model
    to diagnose and adapt to
    the thinking preferences of others. Presenting information in a
    way that recognizes, respects and is compatible with different
    preferences is crucial to meeting colleague and client needs.
    The basis of Whole Brain Thinking and all Herrmann International
    learning modules, the HBDI teaches you how to communicate
    with those who think the same as you and those who think
    differently than you. Once an individual understands his or her
    thinking style preferences, the door is open to improved teamwork,
    leadership, customer relationships, creativity, problem solving, and
    other aspects of personal and interpersonal development.
    Over one million people around the world have taken the HBDI,
    witnessing firsthand its value in improving personal, professional
    and organizational effectiveness. Leading academic institutions
    and organizations of all sizes and industries, including nine out
    of 10 of the Fortune 100, are using the HBDI and Whole Brain
    Thinking techniques to get better results in their mission critical
    areas.
