Holland Codes (RIASEC) Test

the riasec model professional type career guidance personality type

This measure is a brief career-interest inventory based on the RIASEC framework. Holland Codes (RIASEC) is used to summarize patterns of vocational interests across six domains commonly described as Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional.

The instrument consists of 42 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. Responses are used to generate a profile that can support career exploration, educational planning, or vocational counseling by identifying interest areas and discussing fit with work environments. The underlying model is attributed to J. L. Holland, and results should be interpreted in context with the individual’s goals, history, and other assessment information; Holland Codes (RIASEC) is not a standalone diagnostic tool.
