Script

===John Holland's Occupational Themes===
The most popular came from the works of an American psychologist John Holland. He tried to match occupations with personalities and he studied personalities first and he found that some personalities are more disruptive, some are more conforming, some are more individual, some are more collective and he chunked personality types in six buckets which are artistic, social, enterprise, conventional, experiential and investigative. Every personality has not only one dimension but could be two or more and as the personality classification didn't really work but for occupations basically became the most popular classification.

Experiential occupations

Starting with Experiential potential. Initially drawn a horn called it motoric occupation and later he changed it to realistic occupation. Evidential potential is any occupation that frequently involves work activities that include practice hands on problems and solutions and in this bucket came a carpenter, engineer, farmer etc. Collectively they may be called doers, in ancient times they would have been hunters.

Investigative occupations

Investigative occupations which John Holland initially called intellectual is an occupation that frequently involves working with ideas that requires an extensive amount of thinking. In this bucket goes an auditor, business analyst, compliance officer, cost estimator, editor, inspector, interviewer and a lawyer. Collectively they may be called thinkers.

Artistic occupations

In artistic occupation, initially known as esthetic occupation is the occupation that frequently involves working the forms, designs and patterns. In this bucket will go an artist, composer, designer, enterpriser, architect and a creative writer. Collectively they may be called innovators. In ancient times they would have been artisans.

Social occupations

Social occupation or initially it was called supportive, is an occupation that frequently involves working with and communicating with and teaching people. This occupation often involves helping or providing services to others. In this bucket will go a carrier councilor, job coach, sales representative and teacher. Collectively they may be called helpers and in ancient times they could be deemed healers.

Enterprising occupations

Enterprise Occupation, initially it was called persuasive occupation. It is an occupation which frequently involves starting up and carrying out projects. In this bucket will go an architect, project owner and self-employed. Collectively they may be called creators and in ancient times they would have been leaders.

Conventional occupations

Finally, Conventional Occupation, initially known as conforming. This is an occupation that frequently involves following set procedures and routines. In this bucket will go an accountant, administrative assistant, book keeper, document management specialist and technical writer. Collectively they may be called organizers. In ancient times they would have been guardians.

Sets of dimensions

Here are two different sets of dimensions, one is working ideas verses data and people verses things and clearly social works more with people and experiential or realistic work more with things. Ideas, we have artistic and investigative. So artistic basically create ideas and investigative find ideas or find what`s there behind the ideas and data. 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. That's it for occupational themes. Next we will look at conditions of work.

Core Occupations is the successor lectio.
