• Investigative individuals have an aptitude for math and science. They enjoy problem solving and prefer to work with ideas rather than people (i.e. researchers).
• Artistic individuals have artistic ability and value the creative arts. They avoid repetitive activities in which they cannot express their imagination (i.e. musicians, actors, etc.).
