Finding a Place to Start: Self Assessment
"Holland Types" and Occupational Interests:
The purpose of the Holland Party Exercise was to get you to think about your likes and dislikes. It should not limit your career choices to your two or three letter code.
Not every member of an occupation has identical interests. There can be many variations. However, Holland found that the majority of people in occupations that he surveyed, did share common interests. Let's try applying this concept to several occupations below:
- What would be the likely Holland Type of a product design engineer?
- What about a psychoanalyst?
- What about an art gallery manager?
Answers:
- [RA]
- [IS, maybe ISA]
- [EA or AE]
