NBI® Personal Skills Instrument

This Instrument identifies an individual's skills. You may have acquired skills in a particular area that is not really indicative of your brain preference or you may have a very strong preference in one area, but have never had the opportunity to develop the necessary skills.

It could happen that your skills profile differs from your preference profile. The most common reason for this happening is that preferring ("liking") something does not automatically mean you have the skills to execute or implement the preference. You may like singing but do not have any singing skills.

The opposite is also sometimes true. A person may have excellent skills for accounting but has little or no preference for doing the work of an accountant. It would be very difficult to sustain passion and energy, if the correlation between the preference profile and skills profile is low.
