3. There are six basic types of environments: Realistic (R), Investigative (I), Artistic (A), Social (S), Enterprising (E), and Conventional (C);

5. People who choose to study and work in an environment similar to their personality
type are more likely to be successful and satisfied; and
6. How you act and feel depends to a large extent on your school or work environment.
