    For Instructor RIASEC Types Defined


    Realistic individuals prefer to work with their hands and generally avoid social activities. They value concrete things that you can see and touch, to be outside, and they describe themselves as practical (i.e. mechanics, farmers, etc.).

    Investigative individuals have an aptitude for math and science. They enjoy problem solving and prefer to work with ideas rather than people (i.e. researchers). Artistic individuals have artistic ability and value the creative arts. They avoid repetitive activities in which they cannot express their imagination (i.e. musicians, actors, etc.).
    Holland (1997)

    For Instructor RIASEC Types Defined


    Social individuals have strong interpersonal skills and value relationships. They enjoy helping others and avoid using machines or tools (i.e. teachers, counselors, etc.). Enterprising individuals are skilled speakers that seek out leadership roles. They enjoy persuading people and selling ideas. They prefer to work with other people (i.e. sales people, politicians, etc.). Conventional individuals are very orderly/organized. They would rather work with numbers and words as opposed to other people (accountants, clerical workers, etc.).
