Step 3: How accurately do you believe your (3) top themes describe your personality and
interests?
REALISTIC people are characterized by competitive/assertive behavior and by interest in
activities that require motor coordination, skill, and physical strength. People oriented toward
this role prefer situations involving "action solutions" rather than tasks involving verbal or
interpersonal skills. They like to take a concrete approach to problem-solving rather than
relying on abstract theory. They tend to be interested in scientific or mechanical rather than
cultural and aesthetic areas.
INVESTIGATIVE people prefer to think rather than to act, to organize and understand rather
than to persuade. They are not apt to be very "people oriented."
ARTISTIC people value self-expression and relationships with others through artistic expression.
They dislike structure, prefer tasks involving personal or physical skills, and are more prone to
expression of emotion than others. They are similar to investigative people, but are more
interested in the cultural-aesthetic than the scientific. SOCIAL people seem to satisfy their
needs in teaching or helping situations. In contrast to investigative and realistic people, social
types are drawn more to seek close interpersonal relationships and are less apt to engage in
intellectual or extensive physical activity.
SOCIAL people have high interest in other people and are sensitive to the needs of others. They
perceive themselves as liking to help others, understanding others, and having teaching
abilities. Social people value social activities, social problems, and interpersonal
relationships. They use their verbal and social skills to change other people’s behavior. They are
generally cheerful, scholarly, and verbally oriented.
ENTERPRISING people are verbally skilled and use this skill in persuasion rather than support of
others. They also value prestige and status and are more apt to pursue it than conventional
people.
CONVENTIONAL people don't mind rules and regulations and emphasize self-control. They
prefer structure and order to ambiguity in work and interpersonal situations. They place value
on prestige or status.
