Vincent Mok

Vincent is a final-year student majoring in Information Systems and Marketing at HKUST. He learned about Lumina through the Dean of Students’ Office, which supported the Leadership Team of AIESEC in HKUST in taking the test two years ago. 

“I used Lumina Spark to gain a deeper understanding of myself, particularly in stressful situations and during work. This experience also enhanced team building and improved mutual understanding within the team.” 

Plato Ho

Plat just graduated from HKUST this year. He studied BEng in Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management. As a first-year student, Plato joined the Self-Leadership Program hosted by the Dean of Students Office. He did the Lumina Portrait through the program and attended the debriefing session. 

“I was impressed by its accuracy and the analysis of himself under different circumstances. Since then, when I did course and extracurricular projects, I became more aware of my teammates’ natural preferences and reminded myself to be flexible when meeting the opposite self or mirror self to create a better team atmosphere.”
