Script

Many psychologists have studied the idea 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.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was originally developed to identify students' aptitudes toward various professions. 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, INFP would stand for an intuitive, feeling, perceiving introvert.
Although many companies collect MBTI data, this test has little to no effect in the workspace. 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.

His groups are realistic, artistic, realistic, social, enterprising, realistic,



This model is called the Holland Occupational Themes

Occupational Themes is the successor lectio.
