Lumina Spark Goes Digital with the Splash App



I am so excited to announce that Lumina Learning, who is at the forefront of psychometric assessment tools, has taken another leap forward by enabling users to view and compare personalities in the palm of their hand! 

The Lumina Splash App, launched earlier this month, allows you to explore, share and compare your personality right from your phone or other mobile device.  You can “speed read” your personality in just a couple of minutes by answering a set of 24 questions to create your own personal “Splash.” The Splash is a colorful representation of 8 aspects of your personality. It shows the degree to which you are 1) Discipline Driven; 2) Down-to-Earth; 3) Introverted; 4) People Focused; 5) Inspiration Driven; 6) Big Picture Thinking; 7) Extraverted; AND 8) Outcome Focused.  Note that it’s AND not OR.  Part of what makes Lumina unique is that we recognize that humans are complex beings. We can be Introverted AND Extraverted. People Focused AND Outcome Focused.  A big picture thinker AND down to earth. No boxes or labels here!

Using the Splash Navigator within the app, you can drill down to each of the 8 aspects to find out more about what they mean.  Getting ready to work with someone you haven’t worked with before? Share your Splash with them to see where you complement one another and where you differ to more quickly build rapport. 

The Splash created with the Splash App is a first step in building self-awareness, and just a small preview of the breadth of information available in the full Lumina Spark. In addition to the 8 aspects, the full Lumina Spark includes a personalized portrait of your strengths and development areas in 24 qualities represented in three personas: Underlying, Everyday, and Overextended.  Your Underlying persona is who you are most naturally. Your Everyday persona is how you “show up” based on what’s required of you at work, and your “Overextended” persona is how you behave under stress. Attaining self-awareness by understanding your strengths and development areas in each of these personas is powerful, and may help you discover things like why you’re not feeling fulfilled in your current role; or a quality you want to leverage going forward; or how to better communicate with that “difficult” colleague or family member. 

If you’ve attended a Lumina Spark workshop, you can see the digital version of your Splash any time during and after the course by simply scanning the QR code on the paper version of your Spark portrait. You can also share your QR code with others from the workshop to compare personas. The app also provides an easy means to get in touch with your practitioner.
