6 RIASEC Scale description
This is the Holland’s vocational codes measure by Holland (2006). It is a 42-item measure, with seven items per interest. All items are positively worded, meaning that each vocational interest is scored by adding up all points per item. Items are scored on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 = “Strongly Disagree” to 5 = “Strongly Agree”.
The Qualtrics survey scores each interest internally, so you will only need to pull the combined scores for each vocational interest for your analyses.
