Gain clarity on how you think, decide, and lead through a practical self-directed assessment.
Why Thinking Preference Matters
How we think shapes how we lead, decide, communicate, and collaborate, often more than we realize. Recent advances in psychology and neuroscience show that differences in thinking patterns play a significant role in how effective we are at working, relating, collaborating, and communicating with others.
Gist Advisory leverages the NBI® Thinking Preference Assessment to increase self-awareness and awareness of others, providing leaders, managers, team members, and individual contributors with a practical tool for understanding how they think, make decisions, and lead, and how to adapt more effectively to differences in interpersonal style.
The NBI® Thinking Preference Assessments are grounded in research from neuroscience, learning, and creativity. Informed by modern insights from neuroscience, creativity, and psychology, these assessments help individuals, leaders, teams, and organizations unlock their full potential.
This assessment helps surface how you process information, make decisions, and engage with others, often revealing blind spots that are difficult to see without structured insight.
