About This Test

The Holland Code (RIASEC) is a career interest framework proposed by psychologist John Holland in 1959. It sorts vocational interests into six types — Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising and Conventional — and remains one of the most widely used models for choosing majors, careers and hires.

This test uses 60 yes/no statements about everyday preferences to measure how strongly you lean toward each of the six types, then ranks them into your personal three-letter Holland Code. The first letter is your dominant type; the other two are supporting types.

There are no right or wrong answers — go with your gut. The result page decodes your code letter by letter, ranks all six dimensions, and lists career directions that match, so you can use it when choosing a major, switching careers or planning your next move.

How It Works

01There are 60 statements in total. Choose 'Yes' if it sounds like you, 'No' if it doesn't.
02Answer with your first instinct — career interests have no right or wrong answers.
03Think about your long-term, stable preferences, not how you feel today.
04Finish all 60 questions in one sitting for the most consistent result.

Why Take It

Choosing a major

See which fields of study naturally fit your interest pattern before you commit years of coursework to them.

Planning a career change

Feeling drained at work is often an interest mismatch, not a competence problem. Confirm what tasks and environments actually suit you.

Targeting jobs

The same job title varies wildly across companies. Knowing your RIASEC code helps you filter for roles and teams that keep you motivated.

Leading a team

Use interest types as a communication reference: give Realistic members concrete deliverables and Artistic members room to create.

FAQ

Holland sorted vocational interests into six types: Realistic (R), Investigative (I), Artistic (A), Social (S), Enterprising (E) and Conventional (C). Your code takes the top three letters by score (e.g. RIA) — the first letter is your dominant type, the other two are supporting types.
