What is Taster Splash/Speed Reading? How does it compare to Lumina Spark?

Taster Splash/Speed Reading offers a quick and fun visual introduction to your personality using the Lumina Splash app

Before you begin, download the Lumina Splash app by clicking here.

In our new Lumina Splash app we've renamed "Speed Reading" to "Taster Splash". This is to emphasise that users should take their time with the questionnaire, and to make it clearer what the user is creating and how it relates to Lumina Spark. Instructions for both apps are below.

Starting November 10th, you’ll find two versions of the Lumina Splash app available for download: our new and enhanced app (initially in English, with additional languages coming soon), and the previous app (still accessible in most languages, now called Lumina Splash Legacy). The previous app will remain available for a transition period to support other languages and allow users ample time to adopt the new version. 

For instructions regarding the new app see below

How do I upgrade my introductory Taster Splash to a full Splash?

If you have an introductory Taster Splash and now want to upgrade to a full Splash, you will need a Lumina Spark Portrait. You have two options:

  • If you already have a Lumina Spark Portrait, you can upgrade your Splash by following these steps.
  • If you don't have a Lumina Spark Portrait, you speak to your local Lumina Learning representative by clicking here. They will be able to advise you how to obtain a Lumina Spark Portrait.

 

I have already imported my full Splash from my Lumina Spark Portrait into the app, can I create a Taster Splash?

If you have already imported your full Splash from your Lumina Spark Portrait, it is not possible to create extra Taster Splashes unless you are a qualified Lumina Learning Practitioner.

 

What is the difference between a Taster Splash and the Splash in my Lumina Spark Portrait?

The Taster Splash is designed as an introduction to your personality and does not offer the full depth or accuracy of the Lumina Spark questionnaire.

  • Taster Splash uses a shortened 16 to 24 question version of the full 144 question Lumina Spark Questionnaire.
  • Taster asks for a yes or no answer to each question, whereas Lumina Spark asks you to score yourself on a 5-point scale, from strongly disagree through to strongly agree.
  • Taster Splash asks questions relating to the 'Effective' Persona (Underlying and Everyday Combined), unlike Lumina Spark, which encompasses the three personas: Underlying, Everyday and Overextended.

For these reasons, your Taster Splash may look different to the full-accuracy Splash in your Lumina Spark Portrait.
