Holland's Codes:
● Realistic
people are usually assertive and competitive,
and are interested in activities requiring motor
coordination, skill and strength. People with a
realistic orientation usually prefer to work a
problem through by doing something, rather than
talking about it, or sitting and thinking about
it. They like concrete approaches to problem
solving, rather than abstract theory. They tend
to be interested in scientific or mechanical
rather than cultural and aesthetic areas. They
like to work with THINGS.
●
Investigative

act, to organize and understand information
rather than to persuade. They tend to prefer
individual rather than people oriented
activities. They like to work with DATA.
● Artistic

original, perceptive, sensitive, independent and
emotional. . They do not like structure and
rules, like tasks involving people or physical
skills, and are more likely to express their
emotions than others. They like to think,
organize and understand artistic and cultural
areas. They like to work with IDEAS and
THINGS.
● Social

or helping situations. They are different than R

close relationships with other people and are
less apt to want to be really intellectual or
physical. They like to work with PEOPLE.
