The Strong Interest Inventory assessment helps individuals identify their work personality by exploring their interests in six broad areas: realistic, artistic, investigative, social, enterprising, and conventional (often referred to using the acronym RIASEC). It then breaks the RIASEC areas into specific areas of interest, called Basic Interest Scales, that can be directly related to fields of study, careers, and leisure activities. In addition, it describes an individual's personal style preferences in different areas, such as learning environment and risk-taking, to consider when exploring career paths. Depending on the report you choose, it ranks the individual’s top 5 or 10 most compatible occupations from a list of 260 specific jobs.
