THE MIND:
The Whole Brain
Theory

BY: MS. VAL

ICE BREAKER
Label the parts of the brain.
WHAT IS THE
WHOLE BRAIN
THEORY?
WHOLE BRAIN
THEORY
It explains the oscillatory
dynamics of the human
and non-human brain
durign cognitive
processing.
TRIUNE BRAIN THEORY
 4 QUADRANTS OF
THE BRAIN
1. Upper Left (A) Cerebral Mode – the key
word for this quadrant is ANALYTICAL

2. Lower Left (B) Limbic Modthe e – key

word for this quadrant is ORGANIZED

3. Lower Right (C) Limbic Mode – key

word for this quadrant is INTERPERSONAL

4. Upper Right (D) Limbic System – key

word for this quadrant is IMAGINATIVE
 Portions A and B
4 are known as LEFT

QUADRANTS
SIDE of the BRAIN.

Portions C and D are

known as the RIGHT
SIDE of the BRAIN.
 FOUR DIFFERENT
STYLES OF THINKING

Hermann was not trying to

differentiate the functions of
the quadrants and how the
brain works. Instead, he was
pointing out the different
preferences of styles in
thinking.
 FOUR DIFFERENT
STYLES OF THINKING

HE advocated the
whole brain thinking
since most people
utilizes at least 2
primary quadrants.
 FOUR DIFFERENT
STYLES OF THINKING
Meaning using one's
strength while allowing
the weaker styles to
grow stronger than
regular use and
practice.
 BLUE: THE HBDI® BLUE QUADRANT IS THE
FACT-BASED AREA OF THE BRAIN. THOSE
WITH A HIGH PREFERENCE HERE HAVE A
STRONG LOGICAL AND RATIONAL SIDE.
THEY ARE ANALYZERS AND OFTEN FIND
MATHEMATICAL, TECHNICAL AND
PROBLEM SOLVING THOUGHT PROCESSES
MORE NATURAL.

A FAMOUS BLUE IS BILL GATES.

A TYPICAL BLUE PROFESSION IS AN
ENGINEER.
BLUES ARE INTERESTED IN THE WHAT
OF GIVEN SITUATIONS.
GREEN: THE HBDI® GREEN QUADRANT IS THE
FORM-BASED AREA OF THE BRAIN. THOSE
WERE THE HIGH PREFERENCE HERE, HAVE A
STRONG ORGANIZED AND SEQUENTIAL SIDE.
THEY ARE PLANNED AND DETAILED IN THEIR
APPROACH, OFTEN WANTING A PLAN OF
HOW WE GET THERE AND THE DESIRE TO
KNOW THE NEXT STEPS.

A FAMOUS GREEN IS QUEEN ELIZABETH II.

A TYPICAL GREEN IS A PROJECT MANAGER.
GREENS ARE INTERESTED IN THE WHEN OF
ANY GIVEN SITUATION.
 RED: THE HBDI® RED QUADRANT IS THE
FEELINGS-BASED AREA OF THE BRAIN.
THOSE WITH A HIGH PREFERENCE HERE
CAN BE GREAT COMMUNICATORS. THEY
HAVE A FANTASTIC INTERPERSONAL SKILL
AND ARE OFTEN MUSICAL WITH A
SPIRITUAL SIDE TO THEIR THINKING.

A FAMOUS RED WAS MOTHER THERESA.

A TYPICAL RED PROFESSION IS A
TEACHER.
REDS ARE INTERESTED IN THE WHO OF
GIVEN SITUATIONS AND BOTHERED
ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS.
 YELLOW: THE HBDI® YELLOW
QUADRANT IS THE FUTURE-BASED
AREA OF THE BRAIN. THOSE WITH A
HIGH PREFERENCE HERE ARE THE
IDEAS PEOPLE. THEY ARE
IMAGINATIVE, HOLISTIC, AND
CONCEPTUAL THINKERS.

A FAMOUS YELLOW WAS EINSTEIN.

A TYPICAL YELLOW PROFESSION IS AN
ENTREPRENEUR.
YELLOWS ARE INTERESTED IN THE
WHY OF ANY GIVEN SITUATION.
THE POWER
OF THE HBDI

 IT’S VALID, RESEARCH-BASED, AND CLEAR. 99% OF

PEOPLE WHEN THEY GET THEIR HBDI® LOOK AT IT
AND GO, “AH YES. AH, THAT MAKES SENSE. THAT
EXPLAINS IT. NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY.” PEOPLE
WALK AWAY WITH A WORKING UNDERSTANDING OF
THEIR THINKING PREFERENCE, WITHOUT SPENDING A
TON OF TIME ON IT.
CONCLUSION
Write down all the
conclusions obtained from
the vote and discussion.
