Why interests rather than a personality type
Commercial personality instruments are trademarked products with no public data behind them. O*NET is a federal dataset: every occupation here carries published ratings on six interest dimensions, so a match can be shown rather than asserted.
The six dimensions
- Realistic
- hands-on, physical, practical work with tools, machines, plants or animals
- Investigative
- figuring things out — research, analysis, diagnosis, theory
- Artistic
- creating, designing, performing, working without a fixed procedure
- Social
- teaching, caring for, advising and helping people directly
- Enterprising
- persuading, leading, selling, starting and running things
- Conventional
- order and accuracy — records, systems, standards, detail held reliably
