About Lumina Spark ®

Each person in every organization is unique. Each individual brings different styles, needs and expectations to the workplace and in these differences lay great strengths. Lumina Spark can help you to identify and harness these strengths to ensure your company achieves its goals.   

What so Great About the Lumina Spark Portrait?

Lets compare to the others

Lumina Spark ® is a personality assessment tool that is based solidly on the work of Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung, and the leading edge research "The Big Five" and is the result of hundreds of thousands of hours of research and development.

What I love about this tool is that the research team went to practictioners of every other tool and asked them – what needs upgrading, what isn’t working and needs to be added. They also incorporated the research of two icons ‘Carl Jung’ and the ‘Big Five Research’.

The result was Lumina Spark

Contrary to Other Tools Lumina Spark is Not Based on a Forced Choice

• Most Jungian instruments measure one end of a polarity
• For example, an “either or” question such as this one: “Do you prefer to go to parties or stay in and read a book?” forces the respondent to declare themselves as either extraverted (a party goer) or introverted (a book reader).
• In Jungian instruments, Extraversion may be measured directly and an absence of Extraversion is often assumed to be Introversion.
• With Lumina Spark, a learner may claim qualities at both ends of a polarity.  For example, in this portrait you can be ‘Tough’ and ‘Accommodating’ at the same time.

Right Brain and Left Brain Friendly

• The portrait utilizes several different graphics and written language to be both right and left brain friendly

Uniqueness of each person is emphasized through

• Four colours
• Eight Aspects
• Twenty-four qualities
• 3 persona

Consider this very unique feature for personality tools ~ The Three Personas

As our environment changes, so will our response to it. By taking a look through the Lumina lens we can see the three different personas which make up who you are.

These three personas are often intermingled and we don’t usually take time to explore them in great depth. The Lumina Spark portratit givess you the chance to reflect and think about some of your behaviors and how they illustrate your personas.

Your Underlying Persona
Your underlying persona reflects you at your most natural. It can be seen in your preferences and motivations. My natural behaviors are:
................................................................
Your Everyday Persona
Your everyday persona is who you are in your day to day interactions with others. It is both your visible behavior and your day to day thought processes. My usual observable
behaviors are:
................................................................
Your Overextended Persona
Your overextended persona can be seen when you find yourself under stress or when you are trying too hard. My behaviors under pressure are:
................................................................

Four Guiding Principles for the Lumina Spark experience:

• Self Knowledge – gaining a deeper understanding of the self can improve our understanding of others.
• Building Rapport – being able to “speed read” others and gain an understanding of another person builds stronger rapport
• Valuing Diversity –knowing how to recognise the strengths and weaknesses of your colleagues in order to learn how to interact with them effectively.
• Co-Creating Results –improving your ability to collaborate with others will create more effective results.
