Internal Relationships:

The six types Hollander delineated are not juxtaposed and have clear boundaries. He labeled the relationships of the six types with hexagons.

1, neighboring relationships, such as RI, IR, IA, AI, AS, SA, SE, ES, EC, CE, RC and CR. two types of individuals belonging to this type of relationship between the more **** similarities between the two types of individuals, the reality of the R, the study of the type of I people are less preferred to interpersonal communication, both occupational settings are less opportunity to make contact with people.

2. Separate relationships, such as RA, RE, IC, IS, AR, AE, SI, SC, EA, ER, CI and CS, belong to this relationship between the two types of individuals with fewer points of **** similarity than neighboring relationships.

3, relative relationship, in the hexagon in the diagonal position between the type of relative relationship, such as RS, IE, AC, SR, EI, and CA, that is, the relative relationship between the personality type *** the same point of less, therefore, a *** the same person at the same time in the relative relationship between the two types of occupational environments are interested in the case of a very strong, relatively rare.

People usually tend to choose occupational environments that match their self-interest type, e.g., people with realistic interests want to work in realistic occupational environments where they can best utilize their personal potential. However, it is not always necessary for an individual to choose a career environment that corresponds exactly to his or her interests in career choice.

First, because the individual is often a combination of many types of interest, a single type of significant cases, so the evaluation of the individual's type of interest is often in the six types of scores in the top three types of combinations, combinations of scores according to the high and low letters in order to constitute the interest of the group type, such as the RCA, AIS, and so on.

The second reason is that the factors affecting the choice of career are manifold, and are not based solely on the type of interest, but also on the vocational needs of the society and the realistic possibilities of obtaining a career. Therefore, career choice will continue to compromise, seeking to work with neighboring occupational environments, or even isolated occupational environments, in which individuals need to gradually adapt to the work environment.
