Interest Profiler

The Multi-Field Preference Profile reports on 36 career fields and relate them to Johan Holland’s theory of career choice. He is an American scientist and a psychology professor. His theory looks at which career choices are likely to lead to job success and satisfaction. This can be summarized in six statements:

• Most people have one of six personality and interest types such as Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising and Conventional.

• People with the same personality types work well together and reward behavior that supports that personality and interest type.

• There are six types of work environments namely realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising and conventional.

• People seek environments that match their skills and abilities and express their values and attitudes.

• People who work in environments that match their personality and interest type are more likely to be successful and satisfied.

• Your workplace or school has an effect on how you act or work and on how comfortable you are in that environment.
