A career is a long-term professional journey that waves a path for the development of
an individual’s work life. It is not just limited to a series of jobs or even roles. However,
it's a chosen path that aligns with one's skills, interests, values, and goals.
A career also involves continuous learning, and skill enhancement, that allow an
individual to grow and advance in their chosen field.
A career can also include various positions within a single industry or across different
sectors, which reflects an individual’s aspirations and adaptability in the workforce. A
career is often seen as a significant and important aspect of one’s identity and is
integral to achieving personal fulfillment, financial stability, also and contributing to
society.

DESCRIPTION
The Holland Code test, also known as the RIASEC test, is an assessment tool designed
to assist individuals in identifying their career interests. The test was developed by John
L. Holland. This test categorizes personalities into six types: Realistic, Investigative,
Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional (RIASEC). Each personality type aligns
with specific work environments and job roles that best match an individual's natural
preferences and strengths.
The Holland Code test identifies six personality types, each representing different
interests and work environments. Here’s a brief overview of each:
Realistic (R): People here like to indulge in practical, hands-on activities. They are
physically active and prefer working with tools, machines, or outdoors. Eg, engineers,
mechanics, etc.
Investigative (I): people in this category indulge in analytical, intellectual, curious work.
they enjoy solving problems and prefer working with ideas and concepts. Eg, doctors,
researchers, etc.
Artistic (A): here, people are creative, expressive, original, and prefer working in
unstructured environments, enjoy activities involving art, music, writing, or design. Eg,
Artists, writers, musicians, graphic designers, architects.
Social (S): individuals here are helpful, empathetic, cooperative, enjoy working with
people, and prefer roles that involve teaching, counseling, or providing service. Eg,
Teachers, counselors, social workers, etc.
Enterprising (E): here, the individuals are persuasive, energetic, ambitious, enjoy
leading and managing others, and prefer roles that involve selling, influencing, or
business management. Eg, Business executives, entrepreneurs, lawyers, and real
estate agents.
Conventional (C): individuals here are organized, detail-oriented, practical, prefer
working with data and systems, and enjoy structure and routine. Eg, Accountants,
administrative assistants, data analysts, bankers, office managers.
In this practical, the test is done to evaluate the respondent's dominant personality traits
