Frequently asked questions

A neurodiversity-informed tool that helps you understand how your brain naturally works — and helps teams work better together.

• A warm, guided conversation across 12 brain traits.
• A personal radar chart and plain-language summary of your strengths.
• Language to ask for what helps you do your best work.
• Optional, consent-based sharing with your manager or team.

Neuro Spiky Profiler is a workplace service offered under the Beehyve brand — one product in a growing portfolio.

• Beehyve is the parent brand and home for our wellbeing and team-effectiveness services.
• Neuro Spiky Profiler is the workplace profiling product within that portfolio.
• For now it carries Beehyve branding; it may grow into its own brand over time.
• Same team, same values throughout: strengths-based, consent-first, and neurodivergent-led.

Anyone at work — you don't need to be neurodivergent for it to be useful.

• Individuals who want to understand how they work best.
• Managers and team leads who want to lead their people well.
• Facilitators running team-effectiveness or neurodiversity workshops.

No. It's a self-awareness tool, not a clinical or diagnostic instrument.

• It does not diagnose ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or any other condition.
• Scores reflect self-reported natural tendencies — not ability or intelligence.
• It is never used for recruitment screening or performance assessment.
• There are no good or bad results; every profile has real strengths.

Twelve traits grouped into four quadrants of the brain, mapped on a simple model.

• Top Right — Intuitive: Physical, Visual, Creative.
• Bottom Right — Empathic: Empathic, Sensitive, Agreeable.
• Bottom Left — Structured: Reflective, Structured, Organised.
• Top Left — Analytical: Analytical, Literate, Conceptual.

It draws on neuroscience of the brain's rational and intuitive systems, and academic work on neurodiverse profiles.

• Grounded in the Prefrontal Cortex (rational, analytical) and Limbic system (emotional, intuitive).
• Informed by the academic work of Professor Amanda Kirby on neurodiverse profiles.
• Uses the conceptual Quadrant Model framework of two axes and twelve traits.
• Translated into a practical, strengths-based, shame-reducing experience.

A short, friendly conversation — about 10–15 minutes, one trait at a time.

• A warm chat, not a questionnaire — there are no trick questions.
• It explores one trait at a time while your radar chart builds live.
• Your progress auto-saves after each trait, so you can stop and return.
• Prefer structure? A self-assessment rating mode is also available.

You get your narrative and radar, then choose whether to share.

• You receive a personalised narrative and your finished radar chart.
• You're asked whether to share your profile with your manager — entirely your choice.
• You can revisit it, download a PDF, or change your sharing settings any time.

Profiles are kept stable; a retake currently needs a facilitator reset.

• Results are kept consistent so they stay meaningful over time.
• A fresh attempt currently needs a facilitator or admin to reset your profile.
• If your profile doesn't feel right, tell your facilitator — that feedback matters.

No one — unless you choose to share. You can revoke access instantly, any time.

• Your profile is private by default.
• You decide whether your manager can view it, and can revoke that in one click.
• Before you consent, managers see only 'pending' — with no data shown.
• Consent can never be granted on your behalf by anyone else.

Yes. Access is enforced on the server, your data is encrypted, and you control it.

• Access rules are enforced on the server — not just hidden in the interface.
• Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
• You can export all of your data, or delete your account entirely (right to erasure).
• Your profile is only ever used to show results to you and anyone you've consented to.

Only the profiles of team members who've consented — scoped strictly to their own team.

• Managers only see profiles of people who have chosen to share.
• Access is limited to their own team — never other teams or the wider organisation.
• They see your radar, dominant quadrant, and tips for working well with you.

Accessibility is a core design goal, including letting you choose how to read this page.

• Built towards WCAG 2.1 AA, with strong colour contrast throughout.
• Keyboard navigable; radar charts have a text/table alternative.
• This page lets you switch between sections, bullet points, or full text.
• A calm, low-stimulation design that respects reduced-motion settings.
