Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q. What are the 6 Holland codes?

    A. The six Holland codes are Realistic (R, hands-on work with tools and machines), Investigative (I, analysis and research), Artistic (A, creative expression), Social (S, helping and teaching), Enterprising (E, leading and persuading) and Conventional (C, organizing data and details). Most people are a blend, summarized as a three-letter code.

  • Q. What is my Holland code and how is it calculated?

    A. Your Holland code is the three RIASEC types you score highest on, in order. In this test, 48 preference items (8 per type) are summed per type, and the top three form your code, for example SAE or RIC.

  • Q. Can a RIASEC test tell me which career to choose?

    A. No. It shows your interest pattern and career families worth exploring, but it does not measure skills, values or job market fit. This is an unofficial short version for reference only; talk to a career counselor for important decisions.

  • Q. Is this the official Holland Self-Directed Search (SDS)?

    A. No. It is an independent short version built on Holland's RIASEC model: 48 activity items, 8 per type, rated on a 5-point like-dislike scale in about 5 minutes. The official SDS is a published, standardized assessment usually taken through a counselor or its publisher, so treat this result as a starting point for exploration.
