About this app

Your vocational personality simply refers to the work roles, tasks and activities that you are inclined to, interested in and possibly good at doing. Knowing this is important because it increases your self-understanding and helps you contemplate career choices. Having this knowledge also helps you to set the right direction for skills and career pathways and grounds our decisions.

Utilising vocational personality profiling assessment tools such as the RIASEC test acts as a mirror by providing a snapshot of yourself in areas of interests, values, personality and skills. Essentially, such tools can help to create greater self-awareness and understanding of roles to consider.

In short, RIASEC is an acronym that stands for six dimensions: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising and Conventional. Founded by the famous psychologist - John Holland in the 1950s, it can also be referred to as John Holland's Six Occupational Types of Personality.

The test was created to help individuals identify their preferred interests and facilitate job role selection.
