What is the RIASEC Model?

Learn more about career tests and HRID

At HRID, we use the RIASEC model instead of a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator because we find this model to be the most accurate when it comes to determining career choices and get the best career match. Here are the six personality traits from the RIASEC model (valid for college students as well as seasoned professionals).

The six personality traits from the RIASEC model

REALISTIC

Most people who score high in the realistic field prefer manual labour and enjoy operating machines or vehicles. Many realistic jobs involve working outside, dealing with animals, and require you to get your hands dirty. A realistic profession is the opposite of an office job where you sit inside all the time. Realistic people tend to enjoy activities such as gardening, having pets, tinker­ing with cars or other vehicles, and outdoor sports such as running and mountain biking. The dream career for realistic workers takes place in agriculture, construction, manufacturing, distribution and transport and shi­pping, and aviation. Keywords to remember: physical activities, outdoor activities, hands-on work, on the go, machinery and equipment, animals.

INVESTIGATIVE

Investigative people are interested in learning new things and thinking deeply about things. Investigative professions require one to carefully assess (one could also say analyze) the tasks at hand. Investigative professionals are experts in their fields and are able to solve problems by researching and analyzing them. Investigative people typically enjoy intellectual sports such as Sudoku and chess, learning new languages, or taking up new courses in school just for fun. There are many investigative professions in academia, IT, healthcare, intelligence, and innovative companies where they reach career satisfaction. Keywords to remember: analytical, inquisitive, acquiring knowledge, continuous learning, specialist.

ARTISTIC

Artistic people are gifted in creation and original by nature. Design and expression are important aspects of artistic professions. Creative or artistic professions require one to view things from a different angle. They have great personal qualities. This could be done through images and language, but it could also be done through ideas themselves. Typical hobbies for artistic people include painting, photography, writing, cooking, arts and crafts, design, and visiting culturally significant places such as museums. One will encounter a relatively large number of artistic professions with a career aptitude in advertising, the music industry, theatre, the art sector and at companies in the field of design and style. It's the perfect career if you have an artistic profile. Keywords to remember: artistic, original, creative, design, expression.

SOCIAL

People who score highly in the social trait enjoy helping others or teaching in schools. They're the opposite of the quiet types. Many social professions require intense collaboration with others or learning new information together. Social people will generally have a preference for hobbies such as team sports, volunteering and eating out with friends. Here are some career recommendations: government, education, health care and social services. The potential career paths for social people are wide. Keywords to remember: contact, helpful, service-oriented, social, understanding, empathetic, teaching.

ENTERPRISING

Enterprising people tend to be self-starters who are willing to take risks, are natural leaders, and are always looking for new opportunities.

Enterprising people prefer hobbies such as investing, working out at a sports club, politics, and other administrative tasks. Enterprising people have great personal contact, and a high job performance can be found in many different fields, including business career, management, marketing, trading, administration, and politics. Keywords to remember: persuading, final responsibility, managing people, taking financial risks.

CONVENTIONAL

Conventional people are often the quiet types, perfectionists who prefer to work in a structured manner and according to set agreements.

Furthermore, the work can be either routine or process-based, depending on whether it involves repetitive tasks or processes. Conventional people tend to prefer hobbies that involve collecting things, such as stamp collecting, or researching their family history, such as genealogy. They have great career values.

Should I take a career aptitude test?

A career test might seem like a waste of time. However, they were found to be extremely useful when looking for the right professional path: many of us have found ourselves at a crossroads when thinking about what we want to do for a job or if we are well suited for a type of employment. Answering questions through a career interest test can be great to get you thinking and offers a structure when it may sometimes feel overwhelming.

Taking a career quiz can be an excellent exercise for those struggling to define their strengths, their objectives, and their interests. Usually, it is felt that multiple-choice questions are the best type to use, but some people welcome other types of questions as well. Career interest tests that take your aptitudes into consideration can be effective for giving a better window on prospective careers in certain fields.
