Match Your Personality with Careers

"What career would fit me best?" How many times have you asked yourself this question? It is a common question, and a good one. Research shows that the match between your job and your personality plays a major role in your job satisfaction and success. And, this is also true for your choice of a training program or college major.

Here you will find the careers that match your Holland personality type.

(And, if you take the Career Key test, you will learn a great deal about each of these jobs in Canada -- accurate information about such things as what workers do in them, what they pay, and their job outlook.)

You will use the personality types identified by the internationally known and respected career psychologist, Dr. John Holland. There are six types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Hundreds of studies have investigated the theory. It is the most widely used theory in career guidance and counselling today. More about Holland's theory.
