What Does the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument® (HBDI®) Measure? Through a 116-question, highly validated diagnostic survey, the HBDI® measures four integrated systems of thinking preferences. These four systems can be mapped metaphorically on the human brain through the Whole Brain® Thinking Model, as follows:
The theory on which the Whole Brain ® Model and the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument® (HBDI ) were built has been supported with reliability and validity evidence from over 30 years of research on a global database comprised of over a million individuals. Ned Herrmann, the originator of the Whole Brain® Model,
What is HBDI? HBDI, or Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument, is a cognitive assessment tool developed by Ned Herrmann in the late 1970s. It is based on the Whole Brain Model, which postulates that the human brain can be divided into four distinct quadrants: A (analytical), B (practical), C (relational), and…
The world’s leading thinking styles assessment tool, the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument® (HBDI®) is the assessment at the core of Herrmann International’s Whole Brain Thinking® approach. Developed in the 1970s by Ned Herrmann, while a manager at General Electric, more than thirty years of research and innovation stand behind the ...
