Holland’s Self-Directed Search

Holland's Self-Directed Search (SDS) is a career assessment tool that helps individuals understand their interests and align them with potential career paths. Based on John Holland's theory, it categorizes people into six types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional (RIASEC). By answering a series of questions about preferences and activities, users receive a code representing their dominant types. This code guides them in exploring suitable careers, enhancing job satisfaction and personal fulfillment. The SDS promotes self-discovery, empowering individuals to make informed career choices that resonate with their intrinsic interests and values.
