How can I use this as a consultant?
• In most environments, you will work with a wide
  range of styles
• Deliver presentations that appeal to all four
  learning/thinking styles
• Use knowledge of the four styles to turn “change”
  into “creativity”
• Try not to get “stuck” with the comfort &
  familiarity of your dominant style
• If you can deliver in a way that incorporates all
  four styles, you can capture your audiences’
  attention!
Is it an effective tool for consultants?

Editor's Notes

  1. It might be very helpful to firstly introduce each other, and then give a quick biography of our learning styles. That way we can ask the class what elements of our presentation they see that meet these styles.
  2. there are 4 different personality types and they all speak a different language.  They each have likes and dislikes, different ways of saying the same thing and they can even have a completely different understanding of the same words!Learning the skill of recognising what personality type someone is, then speaking in their language has made me a small fortune and is very simple to understand. This information is not new, nor is it something I personally made up!You may have seen the personality types expressed using long words or animals, but I like to use colours to identify each type, mainly because it’s easy to remember.
  3. Firstly, the premise—which focuses on thinking preferences—measures somewhat information than the assessments to which it is being compared. Since the basis of the HBDI is the metaphor of the brain, the premise is that we all have a brain, we just each use ours differently. This foundation underlies the positive learning experience of the HBDI (ie there are some areas that may not be as comfortable for you, but you are not limited in what you can do) and it also introduces individual accountability—which may not exist with other assessments.Secondly, the HBDI was created for a business environment (originated at General Electric) and designed to help people get to the application stage to gain benefit. The majority of assessments are created for individuals—many are designed to raise awareness and impart knowledge with less focus on application.Validity is also an important differentiating factor. The HBDI is a validated assessment, while a number of other assessments are not. Key areas of validation include test/retest reliability, face validity and internal construct reliability.Finally, the HBDI is based on the Whole Brain Model, which serves as a ‘meta-model’ that can describe a wide variety of mental processes, including customer viewpoints, style of communication, corporate culture and others. As a result, the HBDI is scalable and applicable to business in ways other assessments are not.
  4. Appropriate uses for the HBDI include, but are not limited to the following areas:1. Better Understanding of Self and of Others. To learn about one's own brain dominance profile and to understand how that profile compares to that of other people and other occupational groups.2. Enhanced Communication. To be able to understand and predict the way different profiles might affect communication which leads to problems or to enhancement of interpersonal relationships on the job and at home.3. Enhanced Productivity Through Teamwork. To learn how to increase the productivity and enjoyment of interpersonal associations in work, at home, and elsewhere. This can be accomplished through honoring and building upon the great advantages of differences in enhancing the effectiveness of teamwork in problem-solving, teaching and learning, etc.4. Work Climate for Creativity. To identify inhibitors to creativity, productivity, and a positive work climate, and to establish the conditions for a positive work climate that will foster creativity.Authenticity. To foster a climate of authenticity among groups of people who must work together. 6. Enhanced Teaching and Learning. To improve the effectiveness of learning and teaching and to achieve greater enjoyment inlearning and teaching.7. Better Management. To improve management of human activity in a variety of jobs ranging from supervision of work groups at lower levels to executive functioning at the highest level.8. Counseling. To relate a person's profile to the profiles of others in college major fields, occupational groups, work groups, or families as a guide to clarifying and improving current relationships or making wise decisions.9. Building Composite Learning Groups. To organize, in advance of a group learning activity, heterogenous or homogenous pairs, triples, sextets, etc. in order to promote understanding of interpersonal communications and of "whole-brained" teamwork in creative problem-solving and design.
  5. More so than other styles, Analyticals value critical analysis, a good debate, competence, technicalperfection, logic, principles and facts.They are probably the most successful overall when it comes to traditional education. In fact, oneeducator once said, “Some students will learn in spite of the instructor, the materials or the method ofinstruction.” In a sense he was describing individuals who prefer this style of learning. However, foroptimal learning, they tend to favour certain methods and strategies over others.We use the acronym, I-D-E-A-S to explain their preferred style as follows:
  6. Carl Gustav Jung, Stephen Hawkings, Thomas Edison,
  7. Creatives more that other styles value innovation, artistic excellence and uniqueness, individual initiative,minimal details, freedom to explore, frequent and spontaneous tasks, having fun, and visuals.They learn best when activities fit the acronym, R-I-S-K-S:
  8. Albert Eienstein, JFK, Bill Clinton, Steve Jobs, Some woman
  9. The Emotional style prefers and needs a personal touch. In fact, this type is least likely to pursue highereducation, preferring to “learn by doing” rather than “learn by reading and writing.”They also need harmony and respect for others. They are most apt to strive for equality and relationshipbuildingGiven their need for interaction, it is no wonder that we use the acronym, T-E-A-M to describe theirpreferred learning style.
  10. Dennis Rodman, MuhatmaGhandi, Mother Teresa, Lady Diana Spencer, Martin Luther King,Jr
  11. One of the main things an Organized learner needs is a roadmap so they will know where they are goingand what they will be doing (an agenda or course schedule).They also need to have clear goals and objectives for each activity. It things are ambiguous, they canbecome frustrated.They prefer structured, impersonal examples or relevant case studies.They also like simple charts and graphs, but can become overwhelmed with overly complicated ones.More than the other types, they will be concerned with doing things on time.They also will tend to take things very literally and may not readily see connections to other things. Theyneed to be able to proceed from one point to the next before coming to a conclusion.Both men and women favor this style of learning.
  12. Julius Ceaser, Margaret Thatcher, B. F. Skinner and Tiger Woods
