3. CAREER KEY: YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE (RIASEC)
According to John Holland, most people are 1 of 6 personalities types (also called Holland’s codes or RIASEC):
Realistic (R): Likes to work with animals, tools, or machines; generally avoids social activities like teaching, healing, and informing others
Investigative (I): Likes to study and solve math or science problems; generally avoids leading, selling, or persuading people
Artistic (A): Likes to do creative activities like art, drama, crafts, dance, music, or creative writing; generally avoids highly ordered or repetitive activities
Social (S): Likes to do things to help people - like, teaching, nursing, or giving first aid, providing information; generally avoids using machines, tools, or animals
Enterprising (E): Likes to lead and persuade people, and to sell things and ideas; generally avoids activities that require careful observation and scientific, analytical thinking
Conventional (C): Likes to work with numbers, records, or machines in a set, orderly way; generally avoids ambiguous, unstructured activities

4. CAREER KEY: YOUR WORK ENVIRONMENT
CAREER KEY: BASED ON YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE (RIASEC)
CAREER KEY: YOUR WORK ENVIRONMENT
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
You + Work Environment = Satisfaction
