What the report names

The eight Brain Styles

There are eight Brain Styles, each a different way of taking in information, deciding and acting. Learning where you and the people you work with sit is a fast, non-clinical way into a conversation about how somebody operates.

Sage

Caring · Protective · Lofty

Leads with people and principle. Holds the long view of what a group is for.

Energizer

Committed · Creative · Real-world

Brings momentum. Turns an idea into something the room can act on today.

Guardian

Caring · Careful · Pragmatic

Protects what works. Weighs the cost to people before the change is made.

Visionary

Passionate · Transformative · Long term

Starts from where things could go, and pulls others toward it.

Deliverer

Task-oriented · Generative · Practical

Gets it done. Finds the next concrete step when everyone else is still talking.

Strategist

Precise · Careful · Future-oriented

Plans the route before moving. Sees the second and third consequence.

Inventor

Analytical · Creative · Open

Recombines what exists into something new. Comfortable without a map.

Scientist

Accurate · Careful · Precise

Wants the evidence. Slows a decision down until it holds up.

A Brain Style is a snapshot or starting point, not a prescriptive box. It describes how a person tends to take in information, decide and act.

Why coaches take it first

Experience the report you want your clients to experience

Taking the SEI yourself is the fastest way to know whether it belongs in your practice - and what it feels like from the client's side of the conversation.

Questions coaches ask

Is this really free?
Yes. Free for ICF Converge members, with no card and nothing to cancel. We ask for an email because that is where the report is delivered.
How long does it take?
5-10 minutes. 77 questions, and there are no right answers — the assessment is measuring patterns, not performance.
Is this the full report, or a preview?
The full report. You receive the standard Brain Brief Profile — the same one a certified practitioner delivers to a client. No watermark, no trimmed sections.
Is this the same SEI I would use with clients?
Yes — the same instrument, the same engine, and the same Brain Brief Profile your clients would receive. Nothing is held back. What certification unlocks is the rest of the family: the SEI Leadership Report, the Development Report, SEI 360 and the Group Development Report, through EQ Assessor Certification.
Can I use my own report with a client?
Use it to show a client what the experience feels like, absolutely. To administer the assessment for someone else and debrief their results, you need to be certified.
Do I earn CCEs for taking it?
Not for the assessment itself — it takes 5-10 minutes. Our certifications and courses are where the ICF Continuing Coach Education units sit.
What happens to my data?
Your results are yours. We use your email to send the report and, if you want it, the Converge follow-up. You can unsubscribe from the first email.
