STEP TWO
Now using the following chart, circle those numbers that you chose
above reflecting the items that most closely resembled how you
view yourself. Once you have finished, count the numbers circled
on each line, counting across.

______	R = Realistic	1	7	13	19	25	31	37	43
______	I = Investigative	2	8	14	20	26	32	38	44
______	A = Artistic	3	9	15	21	27	33	39	45
______	S = Social	4	10	16	22	28	34	40	46
______	E = Enterprising	5	11	17	23	29	35	41	47
______	C = Conventional	6	12	18	24	30	36	42	48

STEP THREE
In which categories did you score highest? Using the following
form write the corresponding letter for your three highest
categories on the lines in the order of highest, second highest
and third highest. This will be your "sample" Holland Code.
(For example, if you scored highest in Realistic, second highest
in Social, and third highest in Conventional, your "sample"
Holland Code is RSC.) You want to focus your major exploration
efforts in these three areas in their respective order from highest
to third highest.


I scored highest in _________, second highest in __________,

and third highest in __________.

My "sample" Holland Code is ____________.

STEP FOUR
Refer to the following links to see explanations of each Holland
Code category.  Remember to view each of the top three that
fit you in order to better understand your "sample" Holland Code.

For example, your code is SIE, you would most resemble the Social
type, somewhat resemble the Investigative type, and resemble the Enterprising type even less. Those types that are not reflected in
your code, you resemble least of all.

Most people and most jobs are some combination of two or three
of the Holland interest areas. Refer to each area in the order they
are reflected in your Holland Code. Be sure to refer to the
corresponding link to occupations in each area, also.

R = REALISTIC
I = INVESTIGATIVE
A = ARTISTIC
S = SOCIAL
E = ENTERPRISING
C = CONVENTIONAL
