Welcome to NLP protoscience org. for a survey of proto-scientific research into Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). The relationship between scientists and NLP practitioners has not always been very fruitful. With the advent of NLP in the eighties, psychologists set out to prove that NLP was wrong. This kind of research resulted in science having hardly any…

The purpose of this data set was to see whether NLP improved the lives for people who were perfectly okay. In the NLP 3.1 data set we looked at people who on average had 800 problem days for the last 1000 days. Quite disturbed people. In the NLP 4.1 data set we looked at how…

Proposed bet for the next 100 cases where a  NLP Circle Foundation NLP coach or NLP trainer coaches or trains someone who has had more than 500 problem days in the last 1000 days before he started doing NLP: Always read the general introduction to the interpretation of this data beforehand. Please, make up your mind before…

Proposed bet for the next 100 cases where NLP Circle Foundation NLP coaches or NLP trainers teach someone the three basic NLP techniques for controlling how you feel, imagine and think: Always read the general introduction to the interpretation of this data beforehand. Please, make up your mind before looking at the data set whether…

This is the data set of our Neurogram research. The Neurogram is the neurological version of the Enneagram. The Neurogram is about the hardware of the brain. For more information, see: NLP & the Neurogram We are extremely confident in our approach to personality typing with the Neurogram. So much in fact that we offer…

Let’s iterate that Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is not a science nor is it scientifically validated by either psychology or neuroscience. Yet, there are many interesting scientific papers published that NLP practitioners use in support of what they practise.  Nevertheless, this is of course no scientific validation. NLP is a wide and deep field and until…

As the word indicates subjective Bayesianism is subjective.  For that reason there are no means in subjective Bayesianism to compare the data from two different persons in an absolute way.  The only thing you can compare is to what degree they improve or get worse. For example:  take person A who quantifies the quality of…

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a metadiscipline to chart excellent human behavior elegantly. For example, in the fields of education and health NLP practitioners have developed an extensive program integrating NLP principles with field specific best practices. One field is missing auspiciously though: science. This is easy to understand as NLP principles and the principles of…
