    Career Planning and Self-Development - Andreas Laine

    HOLLAND CODE

    There are many ways to know your two or three type code - you can purchase it from some internet site or you can have it for free. There are some sites, where you can do it so. For example www.roguecc.edu/Counseling/HollandCodes/test.asp. This is very good site, because there are lots of possibilities to answer and if you do not know yourself well, then you can still have an adequate answer, if you check some boxes incorrectly. This test is made by John L. Holland in the 1970s.

    There are six main categories of peoples interests and they are (www.123test.com/holland-codes-career-tests/):

    1. Realistic: practical, physical, concrete, hands-on, machine, and tool-oriented;

    2. Investigative: analytical, intellectual, scientific, explorative, thinker;

    3. Artistic: creative, original, independent, chaotic, inventive, media, graphics, and text;

    4. Social: cooperative, supporting, helping, healing/nurturing, teaching;

    5. Enterprising: competitive environments, leadership, persuading, status;

    6. Conventional: detail-oriented, organizing, clerical.

    There are possibilities that sometimes you can not do your ideal job, so it is possible to convert your main job category type in to other one. For example: Realistic person can do jobs under Investigative and Conventional side, Investigative person can do Realistic and Artistic jobs, Artistic person can do Investigative and Social jobs, Social type of person can do Artistic and Enterprising type of jobs, Enterprising type can perform Social and Conventional way and Conventional type can do Enterprising and Realistic jobs.

    When you know your two or three letter types you can seek your jobs out from a good internet site www.onetonline.org/explore/interests/Realistic/.

    There are five job zones and descriptions what you can perform best. If you know your type, you can enter it to this site and you can easily seek out jobs what suits to you.

    MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE

    The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. This theory is thougth that IQ test is way to limited and people should seek solutions to different types of people to satisfy their wellbeing.
