Conventional: 4
Personality Profile Code: RAI
Your strongest type is Realistic (Holland, 1997)
The special heredity and experiences of the Realistic person lead to a preference for activities that entail the explicit, order, or systematic manipulation of objects, tools, machines, and animals and to an aversion to educational or therapeutic activities. These behavioral tendencies lead in turn to the acquisition of manual, mechanical, agricultural, electrical, and technical competencies and to a deficit in social and educational competencies.
This development of a Realistic pattern of activities, competencies, and interests creates a person who is predisposed to exhibit the following characteristics.
- Vocational and Avocational Preferences: Prefers Realistic occupations or situations (e.g., electrician or mechanic) in which one can engage in preferred activities and avoid the activities demanded by Social occupations or situations. Can also associate with people having similar beliefs, interests, and values and avoid people with dissimilar interests, beliefs, and values. Has narrow range of interests.
- Life Goals and Values: Possesses traditional values. Prefers to work within institutional restraints. Believes in freedom (independence or free choice). Ranks being ambitious and self-controlled as important values and deprecates being forgiving. Values being practical minded, (to get “one’s money’s worth, to take good care of one’s property, to get full use out of one’s possessions” (Gordon, 1975). In general, values concrete things or tangible personal characteristics. Possesses a very closed system of beliefs and values (i.e., not open to change in beliefs and behavior) and has a narrow range of interests.
- Self–Beliefs: Perceives self as having mechanical, technical and athletic abilities. Enjoys working with hands, tools, machines, electronic equipment. Perceives self as lacking ability in human relations, and believes some social tasks (e.g., teaching) would be frustrating. Remembers disliking and doing poorly at scholarly tasks. Has relatively low self-esteem but has confidence in his or her realistic skills.
- Problem Solving Style: Uses realistic beliefs, competencies, and values to solve problems at work and in other settings. Prefers concrete, practical, and structured solutions or strategies as opposed to clerical, scholarly, or imaginative activities.
Because the Realistic person possesses these preferences, beliefs, and competencies, self-perceptions, and values, he or she is apt to be:
Conforming Materialistic Realistic
Dogmatic Natural Reserved
Genuine Normal Robust
Hardheaded Persistent Self-effacing
Inflexible Practical Uninsightful
Your second type is Artistic (Holland, 1997)
The special heredity and experiences of the Artistic person lead to a preference for ambiguous, free, unsystematized activities that entail the manipulation of physical verbal, or human materials, to create art forms or products and to an aversion to explicit, systematic, and ordered activities. These behavioral tendencies lead in turn to an acquisition of artistic competencies (e.g., language, art, music, drama, writing) and to a deficit in clerical or business system competencies.
The development of an Artistic pattern of activities, competencies, and interests creates a person who is predisposed to exhibit the following characteristics:
- Vocational and Avocational Preferences: Prefers Artistic occupations or situations (e.g., writer or interior decorator) in which one can engage in preferred activities and competencies and avoid the activities demanded by Conventional occupations or situations. Can also associate with people having similar beliefs and values and avoid people with dissimilar beliefs and values.
- Life Goals and Values: Values aesthetic experience and achievement. Values self-expression and equality for all as well as personal characteristics such as being imaginative and courageous but not being obedient, logical, or responsible. Has the most open belief system of the types. Very open to feelings and ideas, and to others. Has liberal goals and values.
- Self–Beliefs: Perceives self as expressive, open, original, intuitive, liberal, nonconforming, introspective, independent, disorderly, having artistic and musical ability, and ability in acting, writing, and speaking. Enjoys engaging in activities that use these abilities and traits but would be frustrated with business activities such as keeping elaborate and accurate records.
- Problem Solving Style: Uses artistic beliefs, competencies, and values to solve problems at work or in other settings. Perceives problems in artistic context, so artistic talents and personal traits (e.g., intuition, expressiveness, originality) dominate the problem-solving process.
Because the Artistic person possesses these beliefs, preferences, competencies, self-perceptions, and values, he or she is apt to be:
Complicated Imaginative Intuitive
Disorderly Impractical Nonconforming
Emotional Impulsive Open
Expressive Independent Original
Idealistic Introspective Sensitive
Your third type is Investigative (Holland, 1997)
The special heredity and experiences of the Investigative person lead to a preference for activities that entail the observational, symbolic, systematic, and creative investigation of physical, biological, and cultural phenomena (in order to understand and control such phenomena) and to an aversion to persuasive, social, and repetitive activities. These behavioral tendencies lead in turn to an acquisition of scientific and mathematical competencies and to a deficit in persuasive competencies.
This development of an Investigative pattern of activities, competencies, and interests creates a person who is predisposed to exhibit the following characteristics:
- Vocational and Avocational Preferences: Prefers Investigative occupations or situations (e.g., biologist or medical technologist) in which one can engage in preferred activities and competencies and avoid the activities demanded by Enterprising occupations or situations. Can also find people with similar beliefs and values and avoid people with dissimilar beliefs and values.
- Life Goals and Values: Values scientific or scholarly activities and achievements. Values self-determination (independence) as well as personal traits such as being intellectual, logical, and ambitious, but holds other life goals or values as less important: family security, being cheerful, having true friendships. Possesses an open system of beliefs.
- Self–Beliefs: Perceives self as having scientific or research ability as well as mathematical talent. Sees self as analytical, curious, scholarly, and having broad interests. Enjoys reading or thinking about solutions to problems. Believes that persuading others about a course of action would be frustrating. Sees self as broadminded and having a wide range of interests. Has moderate to high self-esteem.
- Problem–Solving Style: Uses investigative beliefs, competencies, and values to solve problems at work and in other settings. Seeks challenging problems. Relies on thinking, gathering information, careful analyses, objective data, and related scholarly practices. Pays less attention to personal feelings or the social environment.
Because the Investigative person possesses these beliefs, preferences, competencies, self-perceptions, and values, he or she is apt to be:
Analytical Independent Radical
Cautious Intellectual Rational
Complex Introspective Reserved
Critical Pessimistic Retiring
Curious Precise Unassuming
