There are many psychometric theories used in career assessment.
But one of the theory that interest me the most is called Holland personality type theory.
According to this theory there are six type of personalities that like to work in six type of different environments.
- Realistic personality: if you like to work at physical level with your physical skills like mechanical skills or agricultural related things. Hard skills then you are realistic by nature.
- Artistic personality: if you love to create beautiful things around you ?? you are artistic personality. There are many careers related with that.
- Investigative personality: if you are curious by nature you are investigative personality. You may be scientist or reporter also.
- Social personality: if you love to work with people for human services, you are social by nature, then you love to work with groups. As for example teacher.
- Enterprising personality: if you you have mission or vision in your life,you can influence people and create groups around you, then you can lead a business successfully. These are the qualities of enterprising personalities
- Conventional personality: if you likew to work in structured ,routine environment, you might be suitable for office work.
