Some people say it is hard to be in the world of employment. But it is even
harder to choose a career to start with. There are a lot of options – being a teacher, a
doctor, a plumber, a professional dancer, an entrepreneur, or a bus driver. The list
goes on. But as not everybody is right for every job, not every job is right for everybody.
In fact, what makes you who you are – your personality, characteristics, and skills tell
so much about what occupation is appropriate for you.

In the 1950s, renowned psychologist John Holland developed a career

assessment test to measure skills and interest. Holland defined six categories of
people based on personality, interests, and skills.

1. REALISTIC: These people describe themselves as honest, loyal, and

practical. They are doers more than thinkers. They have strong mechanical,
motor, and athletic abilities; like the outdoors; and prefer working with
machines, tools, plants, and animals.
2. INVESTIGATIVE: These people love problem solving and analytical skills.
They are intellectually stimulated and often mathematically or scientifically
inclined; like to observe learn and evaluate; prefer working alone; and are
reserved.

7
 3. ARTISTIC: These people are the “free spirits.” They are creative, emotional,
intuitive, and idealistic; have a flair for communicating ideas; dislike structure
and prefer working independently; and like to sing, write, act, paint, and think
creatively. They are similar to the investigative type but are interested in the
artistic and aesthetic aspects of things more than the scientific.
4. SOCIAL: These are the “people” people. They are friendly and outgoing;
love to help others, make a difference, or both; have strong verbal and
personal skills and teaching abilities; and are less likely to engage in
intellectual or physical activity.
5. ENTERPRISING: These people are confident, assertive risk takers. They
are sociable; enjoy speaking and leadership; like to persuade rather than
guide; like to use their influence; have strong interpersonal skills; and are
status conscious.
6. CONVENTIONAL: These people are dependable, detail oriented,
disciplined, precise, persistent, and practical, value order; and are good at
clerical and numerical tasks. They work well with people and data, so they
are good organizers, schedulers, and project managers.

Below is a table with the six occupational types, their ideal environments, and some
of the different sample occupations.
