RIASEC is an acronym for six dimensions that psychologist John Holland developed in the 1950s to help people find careers that suit them:
Realistic (R)
People who are realistic may enjoy jobs that involve physical skills, tools, or machines.
Investigative (I)
People who are investigative may enjoy jobs that involve research, theories, and
intellectual inquiry.
Artistic (A)
People who are artistic may enjoy jobs that involve self-expression, art, design, and
language.
Social (S)
People who are social may enjoy jobs that involve helping, teaching, coaching, and serving others.
Enterprising (E)
People who are enterprising may enjoy jobs that involve influencing, motivating, and
leading others.
Conventional (C)
People who are conventional may enjoy jobs that involve managing processes, data, and
information.
The RIASEC assessment, also known as the Holland Code, asks questions about a person's interests, activities, skills, and aspirations for different jobs. The assessment helps people identify careers and fields of study that may suit them. The RIASEC model assumes that these six dimensions represent vocational choices and that a person's personality influences those choices. However, Holland Codes are generalizations and may not be an exact fit.
