:For a long time, [[psychologist]]s have been approaching various ideas to match [[personality|personaliti]]es and [[occupation]]s. Logically, [[artist]]s tend to be more disruptive ''personalities'' than [[accountant]]s. Vice versa, ''accountants'' tend to be more conforming ''personalities'' than [[artist]]s.
:*'''[[Realistic occupation]]'''. An [[occupation]] that frequently involves work activities that include practical, hands-on problems and solutions. They often deal with plants, animals, and real-world materials like wood, tools, and machinery. Many of the [[occupation]]s require working outside and do not involve a lot of paperwork or working closely with others. Examples of that type of [[occupation]]s 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 occupation]]''' ([[Investigative occupation|intellectual occupation]]). An [[occupation]] that frequently involves working with [[idea]]s and requires an extensive amount of thinking. These [[occupation]]s can involve searching for facts and figuring out problems mentally. Examples of that type of [[occupation]]s 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.
+
:No single personality framework fully describes a ''personality'' and no one can predict one's [[productivity]] at the workplace depending on the ''personality'' only. There might be no need. A successful sport team, for instance, should be a mosaic of ''personalities'' regardless of the fact that all of them would share the same ''occupation''.
:*'''[[Artistic occupation]]''' ([[Artistic occupation|esthetic occupation]]). An [[occupation]] that frequently involves 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 [[occupation]]s 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 occupation]]''' ([[Social occupation|supportive occupation]]). An [[occupation]] that frequently involves working with, communicating with, and teaching people. These [[occupation]]s often involve helping or providing service to others. Examples of that type of [[occupation]]s 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.

:The [[Myers-Briggs Type Indicator]] ([[Myers-Briggs Type Indicator|MBTI]]) was originally developed to identify students' aptitudes toward various [[profession]]s. Today, some [[employer]]s collect [[Myers-Briggs Type Indicator|MBTI]] data to match [[mentor]]s and [[protégé]]s.  
:*'''[[Enterprising occupation]]''' ([[Enterprising occupation|persuasive occupation]]). An [[occupation]] that frequently involves starting up and carrying out [[project]]s. These [[occupation]]s can involve leading people and making many decisions. Sometimes they require risk taking and often deal with business. Examples of that type of [[occupation]]s may include an [[architect]], [[product owner]], and [[self-employed]]. Collectively, they may be called "creators;" in ancient times, they would have been leaders.
 
:*'''[[Conventional occupation]]''' ([[Conventional occupation|conforming occupation]]). An [[occupation]] that frequently involves following set procedures and routines. These [[occupation]]s 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 [[occupation]]s 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.</div>

:Investigative occupations which John Holland initially called intellectual is an occupation that frequently involves working with ideas that requires an extensive amount of thinking.

Enterprise and conventional, interestingly enterprising is not in ideas, enterprising is between people and data. It's more of persuasive, working with people and data.

This lesson belongs to the Introduction to Employment session of EmployableU Concepts.


Content

The predecessor lectio is What Occupation Is.

Script

For a long time, psychologists have been approaching various ideas to match personalities and occupations. Logically, artists tend to be more disruptive personalities than accountants. Vice versa, accountants tend to be more conforming personalities than artists.
No single personality framework fully describes a personality and no one can predict one's productivity at the workplace depending on the personality only. There might be no need. A successful sport team, for instance, should be a mosaic of personalities regardless of the fact that all of them would share the same occupation.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was originally developed to identify students' aptitudes toward various professions. Today, some employers collect MBTI data to match mentors and protégés.
This personality test taps four characteristics and classifies people into one of 16 personality types.
Every characteristic contributes one letter from the following pairs:
For instance, ISFP would stand for a sensing, feeling, perceiving introvert.
In another attempt, American psychologist John Holland matched two personality dimensions, disruptive versus conforming and individual versus collective, with six groups of occupations. Holland's groups are artistic, conventional, enterprising, investigative, realistic, and social.
This model is called the Holland Occupational Themes. The Occupational Information Network utilizes this model in its Interests section.

Key terms
