RIASEC 101

What is RIASEC: 

• A personality-type framework that helps describe both the "worker" and the "work". For individuals, the RIASEC can describe personal interests and preferences. For jobs and tasks, the RIASEC can describe the style of work that is needed, ultimately helping at all levels of career management. These themes provide a vocabulary for how a person sees themselves now, how they are growing their skills, what options are available, and where they want to end up. The RIASEC provides the language for discussions and dialogue about ever-shifting job opportunities and career decisions. 

So, what do the 6 career themes in RIASEC stand for?

• Take the interest profiler test! Rank different activities based on whether or not you would enjoy doing them.
