30. John Holland’s
Theory
John Holland's Theory of
Career Choice (RIASEC)
maintains that
in choosing a career, people
prefer jobs where they can be
around others who are
like them.
They search for environments
that will let them use their skills
and abilities, and express their
attitudes and values, while taking
on enjoyable problems and
roles.

55. There were several young animals in the
forest: a duck, a fish, an owl, an eagle, a
squirrel and a rabbit.
Each told his parents he wanted to go to
school to improve himself. The parents
thought this was a good idea. They
enrolled the young animals in a school with
a curriculum of running, jumping,
swimming, tree climbing, and flying.

57. On the first day of school, the
little rabbit got up early to be in
school on time. He brushed his
teeth, combed his hair, ate his
breakfast, and went to school
with high expectations and
excitement.

58. His first class was running. He did great!
His teacher told him he was a wonderful
runner, and he got an A+ and his self-
esteem got a boost. The next day, the
little rabbit went to jumping class. Again
he did very well, received compliments
from his teacher, and got an A+ and a
boost to his self-esteem.

59. The day after that, the little rabbit
went to swimming class. He
wasn’t very good at it.
His teacher said he didn’t do very
well at swimming, gave him a low
grade, and told him he had to
learn to enjoy being wet.

60. His self-esteem suffered.
The little rabbit was determined to
succeed.
For two weeks, the rabbit tried as
hard as he could, but he just couldn’t
get the knack of swimming.
He became discouraged and began
to lose interest in school.

61. The rabbit was called to the principal’s office
with his parents. He was told that he was
failing swimming class.
As a remedy, the principal and the little rabbit’s
parents decided that he would be taken out of
the running and jumping classes (because he
could already do these things so well) and
instead would be assigned to three swimming
classes each day.

62. •The little rabbit tried to
improve his swimming, but
eventually became totally
discouraged. When he was
told that flying classes were
next, he dropped out of
school.

63. What is the Morale of
the Story?
