    John L. Holland's theory of vocational choice proposes that career interests are an expression of personality. The theory identifies six personality types - Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional - and suggests people seek environments that allow them to exercise their skills and express their values. When people of the same type work together, they create an environment that fits their personality type and leads to greater success and satisfaction.

    John L. Holland developed a theory of career choice and personality types. He proposed that there are 6 main personality types and people tend to seek environments that allow them to express their skills and values.

    The 6 personality types are Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional.

    The 4 basic concepts are: 1) People can be a combination of 2 or more personality types 2) Environments can be a combination 3) People seek out similar types of environments 4) Satisfaction/productivity is improved in similar environments
