15. INTEREST INVENTORY TEST
16. INTEREST INVENTORY TEST REALISTIC people are characterized
by competitive/assertive behavior and by interest in activities
that require motor coordination, skill, and physical strength.
People oriented toward this role prefer situations involving
"action solutions" rather than tasks involving verbal or
interpersonal skills. INVESTIGATIVE people prefer to think rather
than to act, to organize and understand rather than to persuade.
They are not apt to be very "people oriented." SOCIAL people seem
to satisfy their needs in teaching or helping situations. In
contrast to investigative and realistic people, social types are
drawn more to seek close interpersonal relationships and are less
apt to engage in intellectual or extensive physical activity.
17. INTEREST INVENTORY TEST CONVENTIONAL people don't mind
rules and regulations and emphasize self-control. They prefer
structure and order rather than ambiguity in work and interpersonal
situations. ENTERPRISING people are verbally skilled and use this
skill in persuasion rather than support of others. They also value
prestige and status and are more apt to pursue it than conventional
people. ARTISTIC people value self-expression and relationships
with others through artistic expression. They dislike structure,
prefer tasks involving personal or physical skills, and are more
prone to expression of emotion than others.
