This inventory developed by John Holland measures which of Holland s six occupational categories a person prefers. The results of the inventory provide a rank order of choices for three of the six categories. Complemented by the Occupations Finder, a reference booklet of hundreds of occupations that are organized according to Holland s six categories, an individual is presented with a variety of career alternatives to explore. This comprehensive vocational instrument surveys, interests, but values, training plans and abilities. It also incorporates career information and presents a model for career decision making.
