Intertest Survey - RIASEC TEST

The document discusses the results of the RIASEC test, which categorizes career interests into six pathways: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Each pathway is described in terms of the types of activities and work environments that people in that category typically prefer. A list of example careers that would be a good fit for each pathway is also provided. The document concludes with a note explaining that the RIASEC test was developed by psychologist John L. Holland to link personality types to occupational preferences.

NOTE
This survey is based on the system of personality typology
developed by the psychologist John L. Holland with the idea
that peoples’ personalities are linked to the types of occupations
they prefer. The system measures people on six separate scales
of which the three highest scores in order represent an individual’s type.
