or an otolaryngologist? Good career decisions require
good information—about your personal traits and
preferences and about the world of work. Career counsellors
can get you started by helping you to identify and articulate

Interests Assessment
Below is a simple interests assessment exercise that may
help you learn more about your preferences. It is based
on John Holland's Theory of Vocational Choice. This theory
maintains that people can be loosely classified into six
categories: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social,
Enterprising, and Conventional. College majors and careers
can also be sorted into these same categories. This assessment
will help you learn about which of the six areas tend
to relate to your interests. Next, you can look at college
majors and careers that may be consistent with your preferences.
You are more likely to be
satisfied with career choices that are consistent with
your skills, interests, and values.
