44
Interpreting the Personality Mosaic
bull The inventory is based on the six personality orientations identified by John Holland
bull People are typically not just one personality type
bull In most people one or two characteristics are dominant two or three are of medium intensity and one or two may be of low intensity
bull A few people score high in each category because they have many interests
bull Others who do not have many strong interests score rather low in all areas

using their bodies to relate to the physical world bull They focus on things learn through their hands and
have little need for conversation bull Because of their facility with physical objects they
are often good in emergencies bull Their ability to deal with the physical world often

fixing things making things with their handsbull Express themselves and achieve primarily
through their bodies rather than through words thoughts

47
Investigative Personalitybull The investigative type deals with the ldquoreal worldrdquo of
things but at a distance bull These individuals prefer to read study and use
books charts and other data instead of getting their hands into things
bull When involved with people they tend to focus on ideas

Interpreting the Personality Mosaic
bull The inventory is based on the six personality orientations identified by John Holland
bull People are typically not just one personality type
bull In most people one or two characteristics are dominant two or three are of medium intensity and one or two may be of low intensity

using their bodies to relate to the physical world bull They focus on things learn through their hands and
have little need for conversation bull Because of their facility with physical objects they
are often good in emergencies bull Their ability to deal with the physical world often

things but at a distance bull These individuals prefer to read study and use
books charts and other data instead of getting their hands into things

Interpreting the Personality Mosaic
bull The inventory is based on the six personality orientations identified by John Holland
bull People are typically not just one personality type
bull In most people one or two characteristics are dominant two or three are of medium intensity and one or two may be of low intensity

using their bodies to relate to the physical world bull They focus on things learn through their hands and
have little need for conversation bull Because of their facility with physical objects they
are often good in emergencies bull Their ability to deal with the physical world often

things but at a distance bull These individuals prefer to read study and use
books charts and other data instead of getting their hands into things

Interpreting the Personality Mosaic
bull The inventory is based on the six personality orientations identified by John Holland
bull People are typically not just one personality type
bull In most people one or two characteristics are dominant two or three are of medium intensity and one or two may be of low intensity
bull A few people score high in each category because they have many interests
bull Others who do not have many strong interests score rather low in all areas

using their bodies to relate to the physical world bull They focus on things learn through their hands and
have little need for conversation bull Because of their facility with physical objects they
are often good in emergencies bull Their ability to deal with the physical world often

fixing things making things with their handsbull Express themselves and achieve primarily
through their bodies rather than through words thoughts
feelingsbull Usually independent practical-minded strong

47
Investigative Personalitybull The investigative type deals with the ldquoreal worldrdquo of
things but at a distance bull These individuals prefer to read study and use
books charts and other data instead of getting their hands into things
bull When involved with people they tend to focus on ideas
bull Wherever they are they will collect information and analyze the situation before making a decision
bull If they enjoy the outdoors itrsquos because they are curious not because they enjoy rugged heavy physical work
bull Their curiosity sometimes leads them to explore their ideas to the exclusion of all else

bull Others will be content just to enjoy aesthetic experiences while still others will create new ways of doing things ndash new systems
bull If they like the outdoors it is from an aesthetic standpoint bull They love its beauty and its power to inspire their creativity ndash
but not its ability to make them perspire with heavy workbull Their irrepressible spirits and enthusiasm can often keep
them focused on a creative project to the exclusion of all else bull Not producing up to standard (their own) can plunge them to
the depths

Interpreting the Personality Mosaic
bull The inventory is based on the six personality orientations identified by John Holland
bull People are typically not just one personality type
bull In most people one or two characteristics are dominant two or three are of medium intensity and one or two may be of low intensity
bull A few people score high in each category because they have many interests
bull Others who do not have many strong interests score rather low in all areas
bull Here is an overview of the six personality types
45

using their bodies to relate to the physical world bull They focus on things learn through their hands and
have little need for conversation bull Because of their facility with physical objects they
are often good in emergencies bull Their ability to deal with the physical world often

fixing things making things with their handsbull Express themselves and achieve primarily
through their bodies rather than through words thoughts
feelingsbull Usually independent practical-minded strong

outdoors using tools and machinerybull Prefer concrete rather than abstract problemsbull Solve problems by doing something physical
47
Investigative Personalitybull The investigative type deals with the ldquoreal worldrdquo of
things but at a distance bull These individuals prefer to read study and use
books charts and other data instead of getting their hands into things
bull When involved with people they tend to focus on ideas
bull Wherever they are they will collect information and analyze the situation before making a decision
bull If they enjoy the outdoors itrsquos because they are curious not because they enjoy rugged heavy physical work
bull Their curiosity sometimes leads them to explore their ideas to the exclusion of all else
48

disregarding rules Their ideas do not always please others but opposition does not discourage them for long
bull Artistic types focus on whatever strikes their creative fancies Sensitivity to sight sound and touch will draw some of them to the fine arts such as drama music and literature
bull Others will be content just to enjoy aesthetic experiences while still others will create new ways of doing things ndash new systems
bull If they like the outdoors it is from an aesthetic standpoint bull They love its beauty and its power to inspire their creativity ndash
but not its ability to make them perspire with heavy workbull Their irrepressible spirits and enthusiasm can often keep
them focused on a creative project to the exclusion of all else bull Not producing up to standard (their own) can plunge them to
the depths
