Not a personality quiz. Both frameworks are validated by decades of peer-reviewed research.

🧭

RIASEC (Holland Codes)

Developed by psychologist John Holland and validated over 60 years of research, RIASEC classifies both people and occupations into six types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional.

Your three-letter Holland Code acts as a career fingerprint — mapping directly to thousands of job titles via the US Department of Labor's O*NET database.

Schein Career Anchors

MIT professor Edgar Schein identified eight "career anchors" — the values and needs that people refuse to give up when forced to choose. Your primary anchor predicts which tradeoffs you'll make and what kind of work ultimately satisfies you.

Examples include Technical/Functional Competence (wanting to be the expert), General Managerial (wanting to lead), or Entrepreneurial Creativity (wanting to build).
