    The key takeaways are that the Strong Interest Inventory can help assess interests, personality, values and skills to find suitable career opportunities. It measures interests, not abilities, and there are no wrong answers. Career theory suggests workers and employers are most satisfied when a person's characteristics match a job's characteristics.

    The Strong Interest Inventory aims to assess interests, personality, values and skills to help learn which career opportunities are the best fit. It measures interests, not abilities, and believes if someone has an interest they can develop the necessary abilities.

    Holland's Theory suggests people and jobs can be described by combinations of six themes/types and people tend to be satisfied when they find compatible job environments matching their type.

    related to their interests, abilities, needs,
    values, and personality.
    • All occupations/jobs have unique
    characteristics related to work tasks, skills
    required, demands, and rewards.
    • Workers and employers are most satisfied
    when there is a match between the
    characteristics of the worker and the
    characteristics of the occupation/job.
    Adapted from Facilitating Career Development by JoAnn Harris-Bowlsbey, Barbara H. Suddarth, and David M. Reile, 2005

    • People can be described as a combination of


    two or more of six types: Realistic,
    Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising,
    Conventional.
    • Job environments can also be described as a
    combination of the same six types.
    • People of a given type seek job environments
    of the same or similar type.
