Hermann Brain Dominance Instrument.(HBDI) - Ann de Boer
The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) is the world’s leading thinking styles assessment tool, developed by the originators of Whole Brain Technology and Whole Brain Thinking.
It identifies your preferred approach to emotional, analytical, structural and strategic thinking. It also provides individuals with a significantly increased level of personal understanding it identifies and measures the strength of preference for each of the four distinct thinking style of thinking.

According to the HBDI, the brain is divided in four quadrants of thinking preferences:
•A. (Blue) Realistic thinking. Keywords associated with this quadrant are logical, factual, critical, technical and quantitative.
•B. (Green) Sensible thinking. Keywords associated with this quadrant are sequential, conservative, controlled, detailed and organised.
•C. (Red) Feeling based. Keywords associated with this quadrant are emotional, musical, humanistic, expressive and sensory.
•D. (Yellow) Idealistic. Keywords associated with this quadrant are metaphoric, integrative, visual, synthesising, conceptual.

Ann is bubbly, energetic and humorous. Ann spoke with authority on the different personality types. Everybody was fascinated. She showed us the way to embrace our strengths and to develop our challenges in an energetic, fun way. The brain dominance made a lot of sense and although I have done a similar test before and the results matched, this was the most thorough. Most of the results were how I saw myself in the past, although a few surprises awaited me, explaining behaviour I could not understand in the past. I found that I am mostly in the red quadrant with the second highest percentage in the yellow. Some green and some blue. However when under pressure I tend to switch to the blue quadrant! I found this exercise stimulating. I am sure the results are going to help me in future especially since the areas where I can develop are now clear. Ann armoured us with the skills and desire to find ourselves within our organizations and to develop into the leaders we hope to be.

Graduation Lunch of participants from the 4th CLLA
We had lunch with the participants of the 4th Carnegie Library Leadership Academy where all the graduates shared their experiences of the Academy. They mentioned how the Academy enriched their lives and how valuable it was for their careers. At least 7 of the participants received distinctions. Unfortunately not all of the participants graduated.
