HOLLAND CODES/INVENTORY (RIASEC)

The Holland Codes/Inventory (RIASEC) is another career interest tool. Developed by American psychologist John Holland, this tool surveys your interest in a variety of occupation-related tasks, grouped into six broad categories. These categories correspond with the RIASEC acronym: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Your top three preferred interest domains can then be combined into a three-letter Holland Code.
