  • Most practical of the theories
  • People can be categorized into 6 personality types (RIASEC model)
    • Realistic
    • Investigative
    • Artistic
    • Social
    • Enterprising
    • Conventional
  • Environments are said to fit each type 
  • Closer one type is to another on the hexagon diagram, the more these types are alike
    • When people identify with types that are close together, they are defined as being consistent

  • Congruence - how well one's environment fits with their personality type
    • Even though an environment may be predominately one type, many different types can be found within every work environment
  • Differentiation 
    • Highly differentiated - closely resembles one type while being much different from others
    • Low - may identify with many different types or no types
  • Identity
    • Holland developed measure for one's identity
    • May be easier to help those with strong identity
    • Can be used to answer questions related to the effectiveness of career counseling and job satisfaction
  • Personal career theories (PCTs)
    • People go to see career counselors when their PCT does not seem to work out
    • Given levels based on how realistic/clear PCT is
      • Validity, complexity, and comprehensiveness
