Artistic Investigation Enterprising Realistic Conventional Artistic Social Investigation Enterprising Computer Forensics Security Auditor Cyber Criminal Investigator SOC Analyst Cryptologist Risk Analyst Security Architect Project Manager Software Assurance Risk Analyst Security Auditor Cyber Criminal Investigator Malware Analyst Penetration Testing Security Engineer Social Engineering Disaster Recovery Holland Occupational Themes (RIASEC) refers to a theory of careers and vocational choice based upon personality types that was initially developed by American psychologist John L. Holland. You can see that cybersecurity careers are not located on just one personality type. Holland's "research shows that personalities seek out and flourish in career environments they fit and that jobs and career environments are classifiable by the personalities that flourish in them”. I took an online personality test to see what careers fit my personality, which I selected as Realistic, Social and Artistic…..none of the education majors that showed up were related to cybersecurity, this is a problem. Without letting students know the vast option of careers, we are not opening up the sector to individuals who think outside of 1’s and 0’s.
