  • Your Holland code: the three leading types

How the test works

You will see 48 activities, from “assemble furniture” to “negotiate”. Mark how much you enjoy or would enjoy each one. Do not think about salary, education or whether you are good at it: the test measures interest, not skills.

Your answers build a profile across six interest types and a list of jobs where those interests matter most.

What it is based on

The six-type model of career interests was proposed by the American psychologist John Holland. It is one of the best-known and most tested models in career guidance and underpins career services in many countries. The questions and job matching for this test were developed by Soulmeter.

What to do with your result

  • Pick two or three jobs from the list that resonate and talk to people who do them.
  • Try the direction in practice: a club, an internship, volunteering or a short online course.
  • Take the Character map: it shows in what style and with what team you work best.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this test for?
For students choosing a career and for adults thinking about a change. The test shows which activities truly interest you and suggests directions where those interests will pay off.
What is a Holland code?
The American psychologist John Holland described six types of career interests: Doer, Thinker, Creator, Helper, Persuader and Organizer. Your code is your three strongest types. It helps you look for work you will find interesting.
Will the test tell me what job to do?
No, and an honest test should not. It shows what you enjoy and suggests matching directions. The final choice also depends on your abilities, education, the job market and your circumstances.
How do I answer if I have never done something?
Imagine whether you would enjoy it. Do not think about money, prestige or whether you are good at it: the test is about interest, not skills.
Can I combine it with the Character map?
Yes, they work well together. The career test shows what you like doing, and the Character map shows in what style and setting you work best.
