About this quiz

John Holland’s RIASEC model sorts work interests into six themes — Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional — and your top three letters form your code.

Holland’s typology is about environments, not job titles — read your code as orientation, not placement.
