2. According to psychologist John Holland, there are six types of personalities. Nobody is just one type, but most people are mainly one type. For each type, there are certain jobs that might be right and others that are probably wrong.

The Realistic type is practical and likes working with machines and tools.

The Investigative type is curious and likes to learn, analyze situations, and solve problems.

The Artistic type is imaginative and likes to express himself/herself by creating art.

The Social type is friendly and likes helping or training other people.

The Enterprising type is outgoing and likes to persuade or lead other people.

The Conventional type is careful and likes to follow routines and keep track of details.

3. If you think about who you are, you can make the right job decision. Liz is a good example. Liz knew she wanted to do something for children.
