VOCATION can be a point of reference for career guidance processes, helping candidates to make informed decisions about their careers. For those considering a career transition, it provides a good insight into their job preferences. The combined approach of RIASEC profiles opens the field of possibilities, allowing a deeper exploration of an individual’s aspirations by selecting occupations that align with their personality.
VOCATION facilitates a dialogue between the individual and the assessor and as such, is an indispensable tool for skills assessments and training. Training courses can help trainers to optimize resources by identifying an individual’s learning style and the environment most conducive to their development.
We all make career decisions at some point in our lives. Choosing the right career requires deliberate planning and introspection. Other than your technical skills or job demands, personality plays a big role in career choices. Each of us is unique, and we all have different skills and personalities. We can also determine the best career path based on personality traits. There is a popular theory known as the RIASEC model that considers both personality and environment in determining career preferences. The model was developed by John Holland. Based on six personality types, it is possible to determine the right career path for each individual.
In comparison with other personality tests, the RIASEC tests are particularly good at helping people pick a career – which is what they were designed to do.
There are six personality types in the RIASEC model. Holland proposes six personality types based on differential psychology: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional (RIASEC-model), each thought to exhibit a particular pattern of traits and behaviors.
