Riasec Inventory • Note* This is just one tool used to determine possible interest areas. The descriptors may be applicable to you and they may not be applicable to you. Tools like these are only used to identify possible interests for that point in time and do not reflect all your possibilities. In the end my message to you is to chase after your dreams, work hard to meet the goals you set for yourself, try to go beyond even what you can imagine for yourself, and seek out people who will help you get there :0)

A Preliminary RIASEC Code • Take your top three RIASEC letters (those with the highest ratings) • List them in order, from greatest to least interest. • If theme letters are tied, try to pick the one that’s strongest, or you can indicate a tie like so: I/SA (if“S and“I” were tied) • You will need to play with all possible combinations of your code ISA, IAS, SIA, SAI, AIS, ASI
Key Points about the RIASEC Model • Take a look at your code. How does it support or not support your choice of a major/career? • If you say it does not support your choices, what do you see yourself doing instead? • It’s not a crystal ball, simply a source of information that can be used in career decision-making. • Within the resulting RIASEC areas, what careers might interest you the most? And why? • The code represents your pattern of interests NOW. Because interests may change as you experience new things, your RIASEC code may also change over time. • Out of the Riasec choices not selected as the highest scoring for you, which one would you like to have more experiences in, to broaden your horizons? And why?
