Realistic occupations frequently involve work activities that include practical, hands-on problems and solutions. These workers often deal with plants, animals, and real-world materials like wood, tools, and machinery. Many of the occupations require working outside and do not involve a lot of paperwork or working closely with others. Examples of that type of occupations may include a carpenter, engineer, farmer, operator, technician, tester, and trades worker. Collectively, they may be called "doers;" in ancient times, they would have been hunters.
Investigative occupations involve working with ideas and requires an extensive amount of thinking. These occupations can involve searching for facts and figuring out problems mentally. Examples of that type of occupations may include an auditor, business analyst, compliance officer, cost estimator, editor, inspector, interviewer, and lawyer. Collectively, they may be called "thinkers;" in ancient times, they would have been shamans.
Artistic occupations involve working with forms, designs and patterns. They often require self-expression and the work can be done without following a clear set of rules. Examples of that type of occupations may include an artist, composer, creative writer, designer, enterprise architect, and originator. Collectively, they may be called "innovators;" in ancient times, they would have been artisans.
Social occupations involve working with, communicating with, and teaching people. These occupations often involve helping or providing service to others. Examples of that type of occupations may include a career counselor, job coach, mediator, sales representative, service worker, and teacher. Collectively, they may be called "helpers;" in ancient times, they would have been healers.
Enterprising occupations involve starting up and carrying out projects. These occupations can involve leading people and making many decisions. Sometimes they require risk taking and often deal with business. Examples of that type of occupations may include an architect, product owner, and self-employed. Collectively, they may be called "creators;" in ancient times, they would have been leaders.
Conventional occupations involve following set procedures and routines. These occupations can include working with data and details more than with ideas. Usually there is a clear line of authority to follow. Examples of that type of occupations may include an accountant, assistant, bookkeeper, clerk, document management specialist, laborer, and technical writer. Collectively, they may be called "organizers;" in ancient times, they would have been guardians.
