11. Industrial Psychologist John Holland, after a
research, found a connection between interests
and motivation in the work place. He developed a
theory of career choices that stated that a match
between interests and work tasks led to
motivation, satisfaction and better performance.
As a result, a mismatch between interests and
work tasks led to demotivation, dissatisfaction,
and poor performance. Additionally, he
discovered that interests can be categorized into
six major areas ( dimensions).
12. 1. Realistic (R)
2. Investigative (I)
3. Artistic (A)
4. Social (S)
5. Enterprising (E)
6. Conventional (C)

29. All people have more than one area
(dimension) of interest. E.g. Realistic,

The Holland code is the two or three
letters that denote your interest
dimensions. Your highest code reveals
your strongest interest area and can
be considered your primary RIASEC
dimension. The others are secondary
dimensions
