Passions: A Real Life Example

The last two weeks have been devoted to finding your passions through your Holland Code and through examining people, things and ideas that you are passionate about.

To make the exercises more concrete, back to the example of Graham:

His Holland Code

ESA (Enterprising, Social, Artistic) is his Holland Code with a strong bent towards the E.   I like to call him the ultimate capitalist.

Job titles connected to these areas:

Enterprising

Social

Artistic

His Top Passions

Establishing and Maintaining Interpersonal Relationships

Provide Consultation and Advice to Others

Selling or Influencing Others

Monitoring and Controlling Resources

Getting Information

Analyzing Data or Information

Developing Objectives and Strategies

Notice that most of his passions are tied to people (social) and ideas (enterprising, artistic).   You don’t see many related to things, which is tied to why his Holland Code does not show a bent towards realistic or conventional occupations.

Any guesses now on what Graham does now that you have seen his talent and passion responses?

Want to do these exercises yourself?
