Test d'aptitude professionnelle (Holland RIASEC)

Ce que ça mesure

This inventory measures your relative strength across the six Holland interest areas — Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional (RIASEC). Developed by psychologist John Holland and operationalised in the public-domain O*NET Interest Profiler, RIASEC describes the kinds of activities and environments people find most engaging. Your results produce a three-letter Holland code (e.g. 'ISA' or 'REC') that reflects your top three interest areas and can be matched to thousands of occupations in the O*NET database. This is an interest inventory, not a test of ability or aptitude.

Comment ça marche

You rate 30 activities — five per Holland type — on a five-point scale from 'Strongly dislike' to 'Strongly like'. Your scores across all six interest areas are ranked from highest to lowest, and the letters of your top three areas are combined to form your personal Holland code. That three-letter code maps directly to careers in the O*NET and Dictionary of Holland Occupational Codes databases, giving you a research-grounded starting point for career exploration. The check takes around four to six minutes.

Conseils pour un résultat fiable

• 1Use your code with O*NET to explore careers — Visit O*NET OnLine (onetonline.org) and enter your three-letter Holland code under 'Advanced Search → Interests' to browse occupations that match your profile, along with salary data, outlook, and required skills.
• 2All six codes matter, not just the top three — Your full profile — including the types you scored lower on — helps explain which work environments you might actively dislike. Congruence between your type and your work environment is linked to greater job satisfaction and tenure.
• 3Interests can evolve — Holland interest scores are moderately stable across adulthood but can shift with experience, education, and major life events. Retaking the inventory every few years can be informative, especially after a career change or period of growth.
• 4Consider the whole hexagon — Holland arranged the six types in a hexagon — adjacent types (e.g. R and I) are more similar to each other than opposite types (e.g. R and S). A code whose letters are adjacent on the hexagon (e.g. RIC) indicates a more focused, consistent interest profile; widely spread letters indicate broader, more varied interests.
• 5Pair interests with a skills self-assessment — Interests tell you what you enjoy; skills tell you what you are good at. For a fuller picture, combine your Holland code with a separate skills self-assessment such as the O*NET Skills Profiler.
