Making vocational choices

John Holland's classic study proposes that people can be sorted into six broad personality types, each suited to particular kinds of work and surroundings. He describes how these types behave at work, how they tend to perform, and how they act in school and in social settings. He shows how the same types appear in different environments, and how personality and environment interact to shape a person's choices. He then tests whether the system holds up when applied to particular occupations, and closes with practical suggestions for counsellors and individuals using the framework to make career decisions.
