1. Introduction
The Brain Profiles provide a practical, powerful introduction
to emotional intelligence.
There are three tools in the Brain Profile series (BRAIN BRIEF,
BRAIN TALENT and BRAIN DISCOVERY). The Brain Profiles are
designed for a “perfect blend” of insight and ease of use.
If a group uses any profile, a “Dashboard” can be generated as a
1-page summary of the group.
To generate a profile, participants will take the Six Seconds
Emotional Intelligence Assessment (SEI). There are many
different outputs available from the SEI – including more in-depth
reports which require a “Level B” Certification. The Brain Profiles
are “Level A” tools suitable for use by learning/education and HR
professionals.
For an orientation to these tools, be sure to read…
• The Brain Profiles brochure, Technical Manual and web
page: www.6seconds.org/brain
• To learn more about the full line of SEI tools, see
www.6seconds.org/tools/sei
• For recent research on these tools, also see the State of
the Heart Report, showing global trends in emotional
intelligence, Brain Style, and Brain Talents. The 2014 State
of the Heart Report is available on:
http://www.6seconds.org/2014/03/10/state-heart-report/
The Brain Brief
Profile offers insight
into the individual’s
typical approach to
using emotional
data.
The Brain Talent
Profile shows key
capabilities for
innovation and
problem solving.

2. Application
When to Use the Brain Profiles
The BBP and BTP are designed as introductory tools to engage participants in
learning more about their brains, emotions, and becoming more effective; the
BDP goes further. When you are ready to go in depth on emotional intelligence for
individual and organizational transformation, use the advanced reports you
learned in your EQ Assessor Certification.
The profiles are ideal for…
• Workshops on… communication… problem-solving… teamwork…
collaboration… conflict… innovation… relationships…. people-skills…
• Engaging a group at a conference or convention.
• Marketing (give the profile in exchange for signing up for your newsletter).
• Gifts for employees and their families… subscribers… suppliers…
members…
• Coaching managers (by looking at their profiles and the profiles of their
team).
• Talent Planning identifying key attributes required in developing a
workforce or team.
• Selection using emotional intelligence in the interview process, using the
Brain Discovery Profile.
• University classes on business, psychology, education, sports psych, O/D,
coaching, health, communication…
• Research on emotional intelligence and performance (the profile is
generated from the full SEI questionnaire, thus, we’re able to access in-
depth data).

Brain Brief Profile
A snapshot of your brain’s current style for processing
emotional + cognitive data.
This 1-page profile provides insight on Brain Style, the person’s
general approach to using EQ.
The BBP includes three scales: Focus, Decisions, and Drive. Rather than
examining behavior, the tool focuses on patterns of thinking, creating a style that
underlies behavior. Individuals receive one of eight “Brain Styles” that each offer
important strengths and weaknesses.
The Brain Brief Profile is ideally suited to:
• Introducing the concept of emotional intelligence in a simple, clear
framework.
• Building awareness of human dynamics for effective teamwork and team
leadership.
• Creating insight for coaches and coachees.
• Capturing group trends to plan leadership and people strategy.
For more details on the meaning of the eight Brain Styles, please access The Brain
Brief Interpretation Guide ( http://6sec.org/bbigint ). This ebooklet is freely
available and intended as an accompanying guide for users of the BBP.
A customized version of the Brain Brief Interpretation Guide can be arranged
through Six Seconds, crafted for your specific industry or practice area.

Using the Brain Brief Profile
The BBP is designed for self-interpretation. Give each person the Brain Brief
Interpretation Guide – either as a handout, or through the link:
http://6sec.org/bbigint - support them to reflect, consider, and discuss their
profile to make their own meaning.
When discussing Brain Style, remember that it’s learned. The SEI competencies
are learnable – and the brain changes itself continually. Thus, Brain Style will
evolve and change.
When presenting the BBP, be sure to explain the three scales accurately,
emphasizing the fact that Brain Style is about the brain’s preferences – and
behavior is something different:
FOCUS: Sometimes people are confused by this scale, thinking it’s about
behavior or attitude. It’s called “Focus” because the scale is about focus!
Someone on the “Rational” end will usually tune into cognitive data – if s/he walks
into a room, s/he’ll notice facts such as people’s names, numbers of people,
roles, shape of the table, etc. On the other hand, someone on the “Emotional”
end will notice the mood and tone first.
DECISIONS: This scale is about how people generally evaluate decisions.
“Evaluative” is related to a careful, risk-adverse orientation. Those on the
“Innovative” end tend toward risk and opportunity.
DRIVE: Here we’re looking at motivation – for the present/practical/short-term
vs. future/idealistic/long-term.
The online tutorial offers additional recommendations on how to use the Brain
Brief Profile.
Page 8
SE I BRA IN PROF ILES GUIDE FOR CERT IF IED SE I ASSESSORS
Coaching with the Brain Brief Profile
The overall goals of coaching around the BBP are to:
• increase awareness of the importance of EQ.
• help the individual use the strengths of her/his Brain Style (and avoid the
pitfalls).
Here’s a sample outline for a coaching session on the Brain Brief Profile.
Following this general outline are some key points to consider.
Engage
Set the context, define goals.
Explain why (e.g., “We’re working on improving the customer experience to build
better, long-term relationships with our customers, and we know emotions are
key to that. The purpose of this coaching session is to help you gain more
insight & tools for this”)
Ask for their goal (e.g., “Thinking about this topic, what’s one goal you have for
yourself? Or something you’re working on improving?”
Set expectations (e.g., “Two points before we look at the profile: 1. This is
feedback for you - let’s see what’s useful to you in it. 2. This is a snapshot of
when you took the questionnaire, it’s a reflection of how you answered the
questions.”)
Activate
Develop and apply new insights.
Ask: How do other people see you behavior: rational or emotional? Evaluative or
innovative? Practical or idealist? Sketch their answers. Explain the difference
between BEHAVIOR and STYLE. You might use the metaphor of the iceberg; the
Page 9
SE I BRA IN PROF ILES GUIDE FOR CERT IF IED SE I ASSESSORS
tip is visible = behavior. The heart is hidden = style. When we look at the Profile,
it’s about your Brain Style – which is different than behavior.
Give the profile (e.g., “When you took the EQ questionnaire the other day, it
generated this Brain Brief Profile. Take a minute and read it, and then let’s walk
through it!”) [Note: if you sent the BBP in advance, skip this step]
Ask about their Brain Style (e.g., “You can see that the BBP defines an overall
BRAIN STYLE -- what do you think about the style it's identified for you?” [Note: If
you have the Brain Brief Interpretation Guide handy, if they don’t agree with their
style, or if their bubbles are near the middle, look at other styles].
Discuss Focus (e.g., “As you can see, there are 3 parts of the profile. The first is
about what your brain likes to focus on - emotional data first, or rational data
first. Do you agree with what it says? What are the pros and cons of this kind of
focus?)
Discuss Decisions (e.g., “The next scale is about how your brain likes to make
decisions -- carefully evaluating or jumping into possibilities. What are your
perceptions about this scale?”)
Discuss Drive (e.g., “Then there's DRIVE -- what motivates your brain, immediate
action versus long-term. How does this motivation affect the goals we discussed
earlier?”)
Discuss the differences between their Brain Style and behavior. “Is your behavior
matching your Brain Style? Different?” “How could you explain this comparison?”
“What are the pros and cons of this difference/similarity?”
Reflect
Consider the Outcomes (e.g., “The last section of the profile shows two of your
outcomes. [For Assets]: How do you think your Brain Style is helping you with this
asset now? [For Opportunities]: Given what we've discussed, how might you use
your Brain Style to help you with this opportunity?”) [Note, this section will either
Page 10
SE I BRA IN PROF ILES GUIDE FOR CERT IF IED SE I ASSESSORS
show an asset & opportunity, two assets, or two opportunities, depending on
scores].
Review and set Actions (e.g., “Before we close, would you please recap your key
take aways and action steps?”)
Close with follow up (e.g., “How about if we touch base next week to see how
this is going?”)
Points to Keep in Mind
When using the BBP, remember…
Size matters: the largest “bubble” is this person’s strongest area.
Use the guide: http://6sec.org/bbigint
Part of the story: Profiles give some data, not the whole “Truth with a Capital T.”
Preference: A bubble toward Rational (for example) doesn’t mean this person has
no focus on emotion; it means s/he will probably go to rational data first. Brain
Style ≠ behavior; this person may have good skills to behave well with emotion…
it just means her/his brain is more focused on rational data.
Explore meaning: “What is your perception of this?” “What does it mean to you?”
Perceptions matter: “Do you see yourself in this picture? Where is the picture
different from your perception? How do you explain this ‘different point of view’?”
(These questions also help you understand the person’s self-awareness.)
Make it real: “Could you tell me an example of a situation in which you used this
strength? Do you remember a situation where this was a challenge?”
Create positive change: Help the person to see the value of this conversation,
“How can you use this information? After this discussion, what do you want to
use more or less? What’s one action step for you?” (These kinds of questions help
the person see that you’re focused on her/his real life and future.)

Brain Talent Profile
Key capabilities to create the future.
Based on extensive research into essential talents for innovation
and problem solving, the Brain Talent Profile offers six key
strengths that enable performance.
The 18 “Brain Apps” describe unique, powerful capabilities to
create positive change. Grounded in research, these competencies
are essential to flourish in complex times – at work, in school, in
life:
Please see the Brain Talent Interpretation Guide for additional background and an
explanation of each “App”: http://6sec.org/btigint. This ebooklet is freely
available and intended as an accompanying guide for users of the BBP.
A customized version of the Brain Talent Interpretation Guide can be arranged
through Six Seconds, crafted for your specific industry or practice area.
Page 12
SE I BRA IN PROF ILES GUIDE FOR CERT IF IED SE I ASSESSORS
Using the Brain Talent Profile
Give each person the Brain Talent Interpretation Guide – either as a handout, or
through the link: http://6sec.org/btigint so s/he can make sense of the “Apps”
and their meanings. Some additional recommendations:
1. What does it do:
BTP provides feedback on your strongest "talents for the future" -- key
competencies (fueled by emotional intelligence) needed to innovate, achieve, and
thrive. Through extensive research, we distilled key behaviors from open-text
comments about real leaders today, and linked them to emotional intelligence
competencies. In a sense, it distills a decade of experience with emotional
intelligence into 18 simple concepts.
2. What doesn’t it do:
The BTP does not tell you how strong your strengths are, nor does it tell you
about weaknesses. It doesn't provide a full picture of emotional intelligence. The
full SEI assessment goes into more depth.
3. When to use it:
The BTP is a powerfully simple tool that links emotional intelligence to real-world
performance. Using simple language, the BTP shows people key talents that they
will easily understand and want to apply. Typical uses:
• In training, coaching, public speaking to introduce people to the
application of emotional intelligence: How can you USE emotional
intelligence in your daily work & life? Apply these talents.
• Presenting on people-side of performance: EQ drives these essential
strengths, what are yours?
Page 13
SE I BRA IN PROF ILES GUIDE FOR CERT IF IED SE I ASSESSORS
• Strength-based coaching: If you want to make change, use your strengths.
What are you good at?
• Workforce design: What talents do you have, what talents do you need?
• Career consulting: What are your strengths, where could those optimally
serve you?
• Employer Branding: Help prospective candidates understand that your org
is committed to EQ and the people-side by having every candidate take a
BTP and discuss it.
• Team development: What are the talents we need in our team? Who on the
team has those? Are there talents that we have but are under-utilizing?
Are there talents we need to develop?
4. How to debrief it:
The BTP is designed for self-interpretation using the Brain Talent Interpretation
Guide. It can also be used in coaching. Some tips:
First, of course, we need to understand the client's goals. Frame the need with a
question such as: If you could make 1 change in your work/life, what would it be?
Then, talk about using the coachee’s talents to help her/him do this....
• Where are you currently using these strengths?
• What does it look like in your work/life to use this talent now?
• What would happen if you were to use this talent more?
• What's one of these strengths you are rarely exercising? Could you
exercise it more? How?
• Are your strengths predominately in certain areas (looking at the brain on
the right)? Would it help you to develop strengths in other areas to
balance?
Page 14
SE I BRA IN PROF ILES GUIDE FOR CERT IF IED SE I ASSESSORS
• Are you over-using any of these talents?
• If you imagine someone strong in these top 3 talents, what kind of person
is s/he? What would s/he be good at? How does that motivate you to
move forward?
5. Leverage strengths.
Part of the beauty of the BTP is its strengths-based orientation. It ONLY provides
strengths. Often, people will look at the other 12 talents and say, “I want more of
those!” This is natural and often valuable. However, there’s power in maintaining
focus on strengths because they’re faster and easier to use. [Note: The BTP
shows the top 6 talents – that doesn’t mean the other 12 are weak!]
For example, imagine “Barry” is someone strong in “Prioritizing” and weak in
“Collaboration,” and he wants to become better at interpersonal communication:
A deficit-approach is to show him he’s weak in Collaboration and to develop new
skills. This can be valuable – and can consume quite a bit of time and energy.
A strengths-approach is to help him use his skill in Prioritizing; since he’s good
at this already, he can put it into action quickly. For example: “Barry, your Brain
Style is rational, so let’s work on understanding people in a rational way: People
have emotional needs, even if they’re irrational needs – right? (maybe give him a
list) (he says, “Logical, got it.”). Do you agree you’re strong in Prioritizing? (He
says, “yes, let’s go.”) Good: So in your next meeting, what if you use your skill at
prioritizing to make sure you’re tuning into those sometimes-irrational needs.
What might happen?”
6. Find the talents for the job.
A powerful discussion for an individual or team – especially for strategic leaders:
What are the talents needed for success in this specific situation?
Page 15
SE I BRA IN PROF ILES GUIDE FOR CERT IF IED SE I ASSESSORS
This can apply to an individual, for example as a parent: If you could design an
ideal parent, what talents would s/he exercise?
And for a workgroup, team, or whole organization: In order to demonstrate the
brand promise you’ve committed to deliver, what talents need to show up in your
customer-facing team? What talents do their managers need in order to ensure
the front line operates that way?
Brain Discovery Profile
Linking EQ, Talents, and Performance.
The BDP is the most in-depth of the profiles, and it brings
together a view of Brain Style with highest and lowest Brain
Talents, and highest and lowest Outcomes. This
progression forms a logical chain: EQ drives talents,
talents drive outcomes.
The BDP can be used in many ways:
• Follow up to a BBP or BTP: Let’s look in more depth…
• Coaching: How can you use your talents to reach your goals – and not get
stuck in potential pitfalls?
• Performance Coaching: How can you use your EQ to generate stronger
results?
• Selection: How can these top talents support you in this new role, and how
can you overcome these lowest talents?
With the addition of “lowest scores,” the BDP creates a risk of hurt feelings, so it
needs to be handled more carefully than the other profiles. However, the contrast
of highest and lowest talents creates important opportunities for discovery.
Page 16
SE I BRA IN PROF ILES GUIDE FOR CERT IF IED SE I ASSESSORS
The BDP in Selection
The BDP was planned with Selection as a key application. EQ is important for
work performance, so hiring managers need an easy-but-powerful way to bring
EQ into the interview. Using the BDP, an interviewer might ask: “Give me an
example of how you’ve successfully used one of these top talents in your work?”
And, “Choose one of the lowest-scoring talents, and tell me how that has been a
challenge for your work?”
For the tool to be effective, it has to be very simple, and, of course, scientifically
robust. In our research, having a 1-page profile with the key data is critical for
this application.
The BDP contains a code only for a recruiter or hiring manager. With this code the
recruiter can understand the candidate’s overall level of Brain Talent and the
reliability of the questionnaire. This signal is important for a recruiter to have an
understanding of how multiple candidates compare.
The code is the way to communicate important information to the recruiter
without obligating him/her to talk about it during the selection interview.
According to the American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines, when
using a tool in selection, the recruiter needs to be prepared to discuss and
explain low scores. However, in an interview situation, this may not be
appropriate, or there may not be time. The BDP avoids this issue by giving the
recruiter a way to “read” this data without presenting these scores directly.
To learn about this coded data, request the confidential “BDP Guide for Certified
Assessors,” which is only available to those certified in the SEI.
To learn more about using the SEI in selection, book a coaching session with one
of Six Seconds’ experts. Email [email protected] to arrange.

align choices toward the long term.
The value on the speedometer is an average score of the whole group, but it
could be the individuals are far below and above that average. So under the
speedometer is a graphic showing coherence.
“Tight” means all the group members’ individual scores are near the average.
They’re all on the same page.
“Medium” means there are
some around 15 points below
or above the average.
“Wide” means many of the group members are 15+ points below or above the
average.
The Brain Areas
In line with the Brain Brief Profile, this graphic
shows how many people are on each side of
each scale. How many people prefer rational
data vs emotional data? Cautious decisions vs
seeking opportunity? Immediate action vs
long term vision?
In the example to the right, the group is fairly strongly weighted to the right side
– which means they can be very good with emotions, innovating, and idealistic
vision, but they have a risk of missing pragmatism.
Page 19
SE I BRA IN PROF ILES GUIDE FOR CERT IF IED SE I ASSESSORS
The Brain Apps
This list provides deeper knowledge of the capabilities of the
work group. Which are the strongest Apps? Can you leverage
these? Which are the weakest Apps? Can you protect from
these gaps?
Perhaps most importantly: Are there some Apps that you
must develop because they’re essential to reach you
objectives?
How strong are the talents?
Since these talents are driven by EQ, the “Speedometer” and
“coherence graphic” provide an indicator of the overall
strength of the talents. For example, with a Speedometer in
the green zone, and “Tight” or “Medium” spread, it means the
top six talents will be quite strong, and the bottom six will be
near the global average.
Outcomes
The right-hand chart on the Dashboard shows average scores
on perceived performance outcomes: Decision Making,
Influence, Networking, Community, Health, Balance,
Achievement, Satisfaction. They’re showing in order, from
highest to lowest, with a color-code to signify overall strength.
Statistically, there is a relationship between emotional
intelligence, talents and these outcomes.
Page 20
SE I BRA IN PROF ILES GUIDE FOR CERT IF IED SE I ASSESSORS
Again, it’s important to consider the alignment of the outcomes and the demands
of the role. If the outcomes above-right are for a team that’s supposed to plan
strategy and then enroll people in the plan, there’s an urgent need to develop
new capabilities in the team before proceeding with that task.
How to get the Dashboard
Email [email protected] with:
• The name of the group
• Who to include (either project name or individual names)
• Date needed (at least 2 work-days are required)
The cost for each Dashboard is 150 Credits.
Dashboard Logic
The Dashboard shows a logical chain that’s based on Six Seconds’ research:
EQ turns into talent, talent enables performance.
Page 21
SE I BRA IN PROF ILES GUIDE FOR CERT IF IED SE I ASSESSORS
Six Seconds Learning Philosophy
In Six Seconds’ certification programs, practitioners learn powerful tools as well
as this important approach to learning. We recommend that all Profilers also use
these principles when engaging with participants:
Wisdom Lives Within: Your job is to ask questions, reflect, and help the client
discover his own answers (versus telling him what to do). In Action: be curious
and encourage curiosity, ask a lot of questions, listen, rephrase what you hear,
ask the client to synthesize/summarize.
No Way is THE Way: There is not a “silver bullet” or magic formula for you as an
Assessor – nor for your clients. Authenticity provides more value than a script. In
Action: focus on each client, encouraging her to form her own style (observe
others as examples and models but don’t try to copy); stay flexible.
The Process is the Content: The way you interact with your client is more
important that the “factual” messages you deliver. She will walk away valuing
your input based on the experience she had with you. The same is true for your
clients when they deal with others in their lives. In Action: be real – while your
focus is the client, be willing to disclose your own stories and struggles and
express what you are really feeling; be deeply, compassionately respectful – and
courageous.
1, 2, 3, PASTA!: Our purpose is to help people make positive change – not just to
raise awareness, but also to take action based on their increased insight. In
Action: frequently ask the client what he is going to do, how his is going to
implement his insight.
Fish Don’t Talk About Water: We take a great deal for granted and make a huge
number of assumptions (it’s an assumption that you and your clients do to!) To
get people to enter “the land of the unknown” they need both safety and
discomfort/dissonance. In Action: make others good (“they are doing the best
they can given their skills and experience – and I could do no better”), ask tough
questions, make succinct observations about what you are hearing, let your
caring show.
Emotions Drive People: Feelings are key drivers of motivation and attention; if
we want to help people change, we need to assist them to create the emotional
conditions that will push them in the right direction. In Action: Notice your own &
others feelings; manage yours to help them shape theirs. Ask about feelings, and
help them discover the layers of feelings that motivate them in a useful way.

3. Administration
New Projects
To deliver the profile to a new client or group, there are three simple steps:
A. Log into the “Six Seconds Tools Intranet.”
B. Create a project.
C. Invite your participants to receive the profile.
Typically a project will be a collection of people. For example, you might have a
project that’s one class – or you might make a project for “marketing” and
another for “1:1 coaching.”
A. Log in
Six Seconds’ TOOLS INTRANET: http://quest.6seconds.it
In case you
forget…

B. Create a Project
Click the SEI Tab…
then… Add Project
Fill in the Project Settings
• “One item per page” shows one question at a time.
• “Multi pages” shows about 24 questions then click to next page.
• “Single page” shows all questions in a long scroll.

Note, we recommend only using “Send to test taker” if it’s impractical for you to manage
the profiles, such as in a large group. You have more control if you send the profile to
yourself and then manage it.
If you have selected “Send to test taker” then customize this message – you may
wish to include a link to the Brain Brief Interpretation Guide:

C: Get the Link
There are two options:
Public Link is one URL for the whole project; each project has a unique
code. Everyone in the project uses the same code to access. The benefit is
ease (esp. if you don’t know who is in the group, e.g, HR manager is
sending invites).
Private Link is a unique URL code for each person; each individual has
unique code. The benefits are clear group management (e.g., you can
automatically email those who did not complete), and you have control
over who is taking because the codes are good only for one person.
When you first create a project, it starts automatically with Public Link:
This icon means “Public link” – click it and a window opens:
To use the Public link, copy/paste your project URL to an email to your clients:
OPTIONAL: To change to Private Link, click this.
