Choices Interest Profiler & UCF Majors
This model is based on the theory that people are more satisfied and more successful in careers that match their interests. According to the theory, people can be loosely classified into six interest types: Realistic (R), Investigative (I), Artistic (A), Social (S), Enterprising (E), and Conventional (C). Academic programs and careers are also classified into these six areas to help you identify options for further exploration.
