    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.).

    relationships. They enjoy helping others and avoid using machines
    or tools (i.e. teachers, counselors, etc.).
    •

    leadership roles. They enjoy persuading people and selling ideas.

    rather work with numbers and words as opposed to other people
