What's Your Holland Code?

John Holland's Theory of Career Choice (RIASEC) maintains that in choosing a career, people prefer jobs where they can be around others who are like them. They search for environments that will let them use their skills and abilities, and express their attitudes and values, while taking on enjoyable problems and roles. Behavior is determined by an interaction between personality and environment. Holland’s theory is centered on the notion that most people fit into one of six personality types in this chart.

Find your Holland Code by taking the Interest Profiler on the Oregon Career Information System. Log in on the Beaverton Student Apps page.
