Holland career interest guide
Six RIASEC interest domains.
What is the Holland interest inventory?
Holland’s RIASEC model groups career and environment interests into six main types. The aim is to see where you have more energy and interest, not only where you already look “successfulâ€.
The six RIASEC types
- R — Realistic: practical, technical, and hands-on work
- I — Investigative: analysis, research, and problem-solving
- A — Artistic: creativity, expression, and ideas
- S — Social: helping, teaching, and working with people
- E — Enterprising: leading, persuading, and driving goals
- C — Conventional: order, data, structure, and precision
How is the result useful?
- It clarifies study and career direction
- You can recognize a better-fit work environment
- You see interest patterns alongside skills
How should you answer?
- Think about genuine interest, not only a high-paying job.
- Mark activities that give you energy when you do them.
- If you have no experience yet, use attraction or distance from that domain.
Note: This educational version follows an O*NET Interest Profiler style and is meant for career orientation.
