Holland says that there are 6 basic types of work environments (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional) and that people who choose to work in an environment similar to their personality type are more likely to be successful and satisfied For example, Artistic persons are more likely to be successful and satisfied if they choose a job that has an Artistic environment, like choosing to be a dance teacher in a dancing school CAREER KEY: BASED ON YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE (RIASEC) You + Work Environment = Satisfaction CAREER KEY: YOUR WORK ENVIRONMENT
