Which Career Path Suits Me Best?

Unsure which career path to follow, or feeling stuck in the wrong job? Psychologist John Holland's theory of careers suggests that we are most satisfied at work when our personality and values fit our work environment. This test will help you identify the work style and responsibilities that suit you most naturally. For each question, choose the activity that sounds more appealing, even if you have never tried it. The test takes about 5 minutes.

How this test is built

The questionnaire consists of 15 A/B choices based on John Holland's classic RIASEC theory of vocational interests. Your answers identify one of six vocational personality types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, or Conventional. This educational tool offers general career guidance, but it does not prescribe a single occupation or replace an assessment by a career counsellor.
