Holland’s Hexagon• In summary, you are most likely to choose a successful and satisfying job, if

you choose one that fits your personality type. • John Holland created a hexagonal model that shows the relationship between

the personality types and environments. • Notice that the personality types closest to each other are more alike than

those farther away. You can see this most clearly when you compare the personalities opposite each other, on the hexagon. For example, read the description of the types for Realistic and Social. You will see that they are virtually the opposite of each other. On the other hand, Social and Artistic are not that far apart.
