The HBDI® (Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument®) is a cognitive styles assessment that defines and describes someone’s thinking preferences across the Whole Brain® Model. Originally developed at General Electric, the HBDI® was created to help people understand their thinking in order to solve problems in a business environment. It has since been completed by more than two million people around the globe and has become the assessment instrument of choice at many of the world’s most successful organizations, including 97% of Fortune 100 companies, leading universities, governments and non-profit institutions. Please note that the HBDI® is a professional tool and the HBDI® App should be used in accordance with best practices. All profiles should be debriefed by a Herrmann International Certified Practitioner or an approved alternative to avoid misinterpretation and misuse. The HBDI® App is not intended to replace a debrief with a Certified Practitioner, but rather as an alternative way of accessing the HBDI® profile information during the debrief, and to help reinforce and apply the insights to everyday situations after the debrief.
