What Is Your Holland Code and Why It Matters

Aug 24, 2026 1 min read

Your Holland code is a three-letter summary of your strongest career interests. Here is why it matters and how to find yours.

What the code means

Each letter maps to one of the six RIASEC types. The order matters — your first letter is the most important.

How to find your code

You can take a structured interest assessment. Our free career test gives you your code in about two minutes.

How to use it

Match your code to majors, careers, and work environments. Use it to start conversations with counselors, not to limit yourself.

Beyond interests

Interests alone are not enough. Pair your code with aptitude and personality for the complete picture.
