HBDI® Pair Report - overview & how to

Each Thinker’s profile with a brief narrative based on their Generic Profile Code.
Optional page with typical occupations aligned to the code (context, not prescription).

Quadrant-by-quadrant comparison from most similar → least similar, shown overall and Under Pressure.

Visual “flow” through the quadrants (normal and Under Pressure) so pairs can see how approaches align or diverge.

Side-by-side descriptors to surface shared language and differences at a glance.

Quick view of “forced-choice” tendencies—useful prompts for communication and decision-making discussions.

Plots choices on the profile to reveal how each person shifts in high-pressure situations.

Clear illustration of shift ranges (slight → dramatic) to build awareness and empathy.

Split 10/10 for readability; color-coded responses per Thinker, with “both” flagged when aligned.

Practical do’s & don’ts based on each person’s preferences, plus space to capture action items.

Start with the big picture
- Profiles side-by-side → “Where we’re in sync” → process flows. Confirm shared goals for the conversation.
Explore language & signals
- Key Descriptors + Adjective Pairs: identify triggers, preferences, and blind spots.
Examine pressure moments
- Under Pressure pages: ask, “What situations trigger these shifts? What support helps each of us?”
Turn insight into practice
- Use the Tip Sheets to agree on two or three concrete tweaks (e.g., meeting prep, decision roles, feedback norms).
Capture commitments
- Write action items and a check-in date (e.g., 30 days).
