Results
This questionnaire is designed to get you thinking about the sort of jobs that
might suit your style.
John Holland's model of vocational choice suggests that people with particular
interests and styles tend to favour certain types of jobs. Holland described
six main types of person:
Realistic
Conventional
Social
Enterprising
Artistic
Investigative
Knowing the types you most (and least) fit can help you think about the types
of role that may suit you.
My results:
Your results suggest that <b>Enterprising</b> type work might suit your
interests and preferences.
Enterprising types like persuading and influencing people as well as
controlling, managing and selling to them. They like to take a lead and are
often quite motivated and ambitious but may be impatient and can find rules and
detail frustrating. They tend to favour roles such as salesperson, manager,
estate agent, supervisor, <b>lawyer</b>, advertising or marketing executive and
often like positions that have status and prestige.
Your results suggest that <b>Social</b> type work might suit your interests and
preferences.
Social types like roles that focus on helping, teaching or supporting others
and very much prefer working with people to working with things or ideas. They
tend to prefer working in teams and like to feel they are doing something
useful. Typical roles for social types include teacher, counsellor, nurse,
minister of religion, clinical psychologist or police officer.
Your results suggest that <b>Artistic,/b> type work might suit your interests
and preferences.
Artistic types are interested in creativity and art, preferring freedom and
independence to following rules and procedures. Self-expression is very
important to Artistic types and they may prefer to work alone. Typical roles
for Artistic types include artist, singer, designer, photographer, musician,
writer and actor.
Your results suggest that Conventional type work is less likely to suit your
interests.
Your results suggest that Investigative type work is less likely to suit your
interests.
Your results suggest that Realistic type work is less likely to suit your
interests.

No, I didn't and it surprised me, also. Since I work in the social services
field, social work isn't at all surprising and my job involves some of the
things listed under enterprising (but no selling!) and investigative.
Conventional instinctively turns me off altho I don't know what the description
of that is. If anyone got Realistic, I'd like to know what type of work and
traits that refers to.
