RIASEC
Model
The RIASEC Model, also known as the Holland Codes, is a career assessment framework that categorizes individuals into six personality types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional (RIASEC). It helps people understand how their personality traits align with different career paths.
Origin and Development
Developed by Dr. John L. Holland in the 1950s, the model was first formalized in his 1959 publication. Over time, it became widely used in career counseling, education, and workforce development, helping individuals make informed career choices based on their personality traits.
