Based on the theory of John Holland, Ph.D., people with the same or similar interests are often found in the same work environments. According to your results, these are the top three traits you prefer for your ideal work environment.

Realistic - Total:

REALISTIC people are characterized by competitive/assertive behavior and by interest in activities that require motor coordination, skill, and physical strength. People oriented toward this role prefer situations involving "action solutions" rather than tasks involving verbal or interpersonal skills. They like to take a concrete approach to problem-solving rather than relying on abstract theory. They tend to be interested in scientific or mechanical rather than cultural and aesthetic areas.
