|
Assessment tools are used as a method of assessing one's abilities, interests, personality/character, and work values. Please be aware that the results may reflect your current mood and are only as good as the answers you give them. It is always advisable to discuss the results with your career counselor to ensure that you understand the results and interpret them accurately for yourself.
Holland Codes
The Holland Code Career Model is a system that classifies jobs into job categories, interest clusters, or work personality environments. The work personalities are Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional (RIASEC). You will end up with a 3-letter code which can then be matched up to various career paths and professions.
