Script

In the Holland Occupational Themes, a carpenter, engineer, farmer, operator, technician, tester, and trades worker are realistic occupations. They deal with real-world things, handle hands-on problems, and find practical solutions. In ancient times, they would have been best growers; today, they may be called "doers."
An auditor, business analyst, compliance officer, cost estimator, editor, inspector, interviewer, and lawyer belong to investigative occupations. They work with ideas. They search for facts and figure out problems mentally. In ancient times, they would have been best shamans; today, they may be called "thinkers."
An artist, composer, creative writer, and designer represent artistic occupations. They work with forms, designs, and patterns. Their work require self-expression, often, without clear rules. In ancient times, they would have been best artisans; today, they may be called "innovators."
A career counselor, job coach, mediator, sales representative, service worker, and teacher are social occupations. They work with and communicate with other people. They often help or provide service to others. In ancient times, they would have been best healers; today, they may be called "helpers."
A c-level executive, entrepreneur, and product owner belong to enterprising occupations. They start up and carry out projects. They may or may not lead people, but they have to take risks and make decisions. Collectively, they may be called "visionaries" and "creators."
An accountant, assistant, bookkeeper, clerk, document management specialist, and technical writer represent conventional occupations. They follow the set procedures and routines. They work with data and details more than with ideas. Usually there is a clear line of authority to follow. In ancient times, they would have been best guardians; today, they may be called "organizers."
