The Neethling Brain Instrument (NBI™) is an online questionnaire that reveals how individuals think, communicate and make decisions. We use it in schools for subject choices and career guidance, and in companies to appoint the right people in the right roles.
Choosing subjects shouldn't be a guess. NBI profiles give learners, parents and teachers a clear picture of how a child thinks, learns and makes decisions — supporting confident subject choices and career direction from a young age.
Appoint the right people in the right roles. We use NBI profiling for recruitment, leadership development, team alignment and succession — so your business is built on people whose strengths actually fit the work.
Profiles can be completed online or on hard copy. Most journeys begin with a base individual profile (Adult or Student) before adding focused, value-add reports.
From age 3 upward — guide subject choices and career direction with insight, not guesswork.
Appoint, develop and lead the right people — and build teams that genuinely complement one another.
Add-on profiles that reveal how you parent, learn, relate, create and respond under pressure.
For players, umpires and referees — sharpen training, game strategy, interaction and leadership.
Each NBI profile is summarised in a four-quadrant brain diagram — showing your thinking preferences across the L1, R1, L2 and R2 quadrants. The numbers reveal where your strengths sit and how you naturally approach decisions, learning and relationships.
A simple, guided process — designed to fit around your schedule.

Common questions from parents, learners, leaders and teams considering an NBI profile.
The NBI is a scientifically developed online questionnaire that maps your thinking preferences across four brain quadrants. It shows how you naturally think, learn, communicate and make decisions — giving learners, parents, leaders and teams practical insight rather than guesswork.
Profiles are available from age three upward. Younger children use picture-based indicators, while older students and adults complete age-appropriate questionnaires that guide subject choices, career direction and personal growth.
By revealing how a learner thinks and processes information, an NBI profile helps parents, teachers and students choose subjects and careers that genuinely fit the way they learn — reducing costly changes later and building confidence in the decision.
