What is Holland Career Interest Test?

The Holland Career Interest Test (RIASEC) is the world's most widely used career guidance tool, developed by American psychologist John Holland. It helps people discover their career interests and find matching career paths.

According to Holland's theory, people's career interests can be categorized into six types. When individuals find work environments that match their interests, they tend to be more satisfied and successful.

The six interest types are:
[1] Realistic (R): Hands-on, practical, mechanical work
[2] Investigative (I): Scientific, analytical, research work
[3] Artistic (A): Creative, expressive, artistic work
[4] Social (S): Helping, teaching, service-oriented work
[5] Enterprising (E): Leadership, persuasive, business work
[6] Conventional (C): Organized, systematic, clerical work

Tips

Answer based on what you genuinely enjoy - not what you think you "should" like. Consider both work activities and leisure preferences. Find a quiet place and complete in one sitting.
