3. You may use your own company logos on the slides instead of ours, but must keep the GIC copyright at the very bottom in small print and also the WBC copyright where it appears.
4. You may of course add your own slides to these to create high impact customized presentations for clients.
5. Please remember that it is specified in your license agreement that a company unrelated to Global Insights Consulting, LLC, is the exclusive provider of the NBI suite of Assessments to undergraduate 2 and 4 year colleges. We cannot market or sell the suite to 2 or 4 year colleges. Doing so would violate your license agreement.
6. You may, sell the suite of tools to students directly perhaps as part of career advisement or coaching services for example, but cannot sell it to undergraduate colleges directly.

Brain Quiz - Questions 6 to 10
Five Reasons Why you Should Learn about your Brain…
1. The “creative economy” is overtaking the “knowledge economy” as the key driver of economic opportunity and development. (A Whole New Mind, Daniel Pink, 2006; The Creative Economy: Which companies will thrive in the coming years? Those that value ideas above all else, Business Week, August 2000)
2. It is estimated that 58% of leader performance is explained by social intelligence. (The Business Case for Emotional Intelligence – 2006 Update, www.talentsmart.com)
3. The U.S. workplace is becoming increasingly diverse requiring greater social, emotional and cultural intelligence. (Tomorrow’s Jobs, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2003)
4. Service occupations will account for the largest amount of new job openings followed by Professional occupations while goods-producing jobs will continue to decrease. (Tomorrow’s Jobs, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2003)
5. Our relationships mold not only our experience but also our biology. Neuroscience has discovered that the brain’s design is wired to be social. (Social Intelligence, Daniel Goleman, 2006)

Conducted Studies of the Corpus Callosum in Cats and in Human subjects with Epilepsy:
•Corpus Callosum allows information transfer and integration between hemispheres
•The brain’s two hemispheres have distinct functions.
• Key Idea = Lateralization of Function
Roger Sperry, M.D. – Split Brain Research (Nobel Prize, 1981)

Neuro-Imaging Research (PET and fMRI): The brain is vastly complex and nonlinear, with both localization and diverse distribution of function.
Language Processing:•fMRI research shows left lateralized frontal and temporal lobe activation for word fluency tasks (Xiong et al., 1998).
•Left brain dominance for language increases with age in children (Holland et al., 2001).
Spatial Processing:•Subjects engage in spatial or temporal tasks. Right side parietal lobe activation was shown for the spatial task. Left side parietal activation was shown for the temporal task (Coull and Nobre,1998).
•**fMRI illustrates that mental rotation of objects recalled from memory, activates parietal lobes bilaterally and temporal lobes with greater activation on the right side (Just et al., 2001).
Emotion Processing:•PET Images illustrate that the left amygdala responds more to faces showing fear than to faces showing happiness (Morris et al., 1996).
•Neuroimaging reveals that the left amygdala responds more to verbally instructed fear than the right amygdala (Olsson & Phelps, 2007).

•Students read sentences like: “The star is not above the plus sign.”
•Then they are shown an image that either matches or does not.
•They solve the word problems with either a verbal (left frontal lobe) or visual-spatial (bilateral parietal lobe) strategy.
•When students had better skill at one thinking approach or another (i.e. verbal vs. spatial) they actually required less activation in the brain to answer the problem.
•Law of Least Effort: The brain uses less energy to process thinking in areas where skill is higher. Given a choice, the brain will seek to Maximize Efficiency!!“The new findings demonstrate that different ways of
thinking engage different networks of brain areas, resulting in identifiable brain activation patterns in each
individual.
