Holland’s RIASEC career matching method links people and careers using six broad types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Artistic people prefer artistic jobs, social people prefer social jobs, etc. While RIASEC is the most popular method for getting quick career matches, there's a lot of room for improvement. Match accuracy improves significantly by taking into account specific interests, needs, dislikes, and personality. We suggest using RIASEC as only a starting point for career exploration.
