Standard Self-Directed Search (SDS)

John L. Holland, PhD, And Melissa A. Messer, MHS


Age range: 11 to 70 years
Admin: Individual or group
Qualification level: A

The StandardSDS is a career assessment and exploration tool that uses John Holland's RIASEC theory to classify individuals according to six basic types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. The theory is based on the idea that if your personality type matches your work environment type, you are more likely to find job fulfilment and career satisfaction.

The StandardSDS asks questions about aspirations, activities, competencies, and level of interest in a variety of occupations and produces a three-letter Summary Code that helps individuals find educational and occupational matches to their personality type.
