The HBDI® Pair Profile

 Print E-mail

The HBDI® Pair Profile is an in-depth analysis of any two individuals and their thinking preferences, offering valuable insights into interpersonal and workplace dynamics. The report identifies potential areas of synergy and conflict—under everyday/normal conditions and under stress—invaluable data that will help any two people prepare for successful interactions and long-term successful relationships.

Here’s how the HBDI® Pair Profile works

Two individuals (ie manager/employee, coach/coachee) must first complete their individual HBDI assessments, and have profile results debriefed by a certified HBDI Practitioner. An individual understanding of the Whole Brain Model™ and thinking preferences, and of individual HBDI® Profile results, is a pre-requisite for HBDI Pair Profile analysis.

The HBDI Pair Profile report can then be produced—through one of our processing centres, or if you are an HTMS™ software licensee, through your own access to the HTMS system.

This HBDI Pair Profile is a 12-page analytical report, exploring areas of synergy and dissonance within a 'pair' relationship. It provides valuable commentary on likely causes of 'synchronisation' and friction, and tips and techniques for more effective communication between the pair.

Included in the HBDI Pair Profile are:

  • the Profile Score
  • the scores for each of the four Quadrants
  • the Work Elements
  • Key Descriptors
  • the Adjective Pairs
  • the 20 Questions.

Application

The HBDI Pair Profile is designed to build on the insights that an individual receives from their own HBDI profile. The HBDI Pair Profile looks specifically at the insights to be gained by comparing and contrasting two individual profiles. It can be used very effectively for three primary types of 'pair interactions'.
