Self-Directed Search
The Self-Directed Search (SDS) is the world's most widely used career interest inventory. It matches your skills and interests to specific careers, college majors, and fields of study.
The SDS was developed by Dr. John Holland whose theory of careers is the foundation for most of the career inventories used today. His theory relates people to six themes: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional.
Work environments and occupations are classified by these six themes. People who choose careers that match their own themes are more likely to be satisfied and successful.
The SDS will hlep you to understand more about yourself, your skills, and your interests. This assessment can not tell you what career to pursue. Only you can make that decision. However, using the results from the SDS, other assessments, and by researching occupations, you can make a well thought out decision.
The "GMA" anchors took the Self-Directed Search test, which matches personality with possible careers. The results so far have been surprising. Sam Champion a shoe salesman? Chris Cuomo a hair stylist?
