Privacy Policy
In order to complete the HBDI™ Survey Form, the respondent must supply some personal information such as: name, telephone number, address, and preferences among various thinking style descriptors. Herrmann International uses this information to calculate the HBDI™ Profile. Some additional demographic and research information is optional and is noted as such on the form.
The data resulting from the 120 questions on the HBDI™ are used to create a “profile” transparency page, “data summary sheet”, “narrative description” and “mini profile” page, all of which are printed and packaged in a sealed, confidential packet. These packets are provided to the certified HBDI™ facilitator for distribution to the respondent or sent directly to the respondent.
HBDI™ information is collected and calculated in a database secured behind a firewall and is accessible only to designated employees of Herrmann International who are under contract to maintain its confidentiality. In those situations where the HBDI™ is completed under the auspices of a third-party certified, licensed HBDI™ practitioner, that practitioner also has access to this information. The use and confidentiality of HBDI™ data by the practitioner is governed by the Herrmann International Licensing Agreement.
