Vocational testing can be particularly useful for adolescents, young adults, and persons contemplating a mid-life career change. Such an assessment examines which occupations best fit with an individual's abilities, interests, and personality. Many vocational interest tests use the Holland codes, which group interests into six categories: REALISTIC (outdoors and hands-on occupations), INVESTIGATIVE (scientific), ARTISTIC (creative), SOCIAL (counseling and teaching), ENTERPRISING (management and sales), and CONVENTIONAL (clerical). Someone with SOCIAL/INVESTIGATIVE/ARTISTIC interests who has the necessary intellect and personal characteristics would enjoy working as a psychologist.
