A carpenter, engineer, farmer, operator, technician, tester, and trades worker belong to realistic occupations. They handle hands-on problems and find practical solutions. These workers often deal with plants, animals, and real-world materials like wood, tools, and machinery. Collectively, they may be called "doers;" in ancient times, they would have been hunters.
An auditor, business analyst, compliance officer, cost estimator, editor, inspector, interviewer, and lawyer belong to investigative occupations. They work with ideas. Their work require an extensive amount of thinking. These occupations can involve searching for facts and figuring out problems mentally. Collectively, they may be called "thinkers;" in ancient times, they would have been shamans.
An artist, composer, creative writer, designer, enterprise architect, and originator belong to artistic occupations. They work with forms, designs, and patterns. Their work require self-expression; it can be done without following a clear set of rules. Collectively, they may be called "innovators;" in ancient times, they would have been artisans.
A career counselor, job coach, mediator, sales representative, service worker, and teacher belong to social occupations. They work with, communicate with, and teaching other people. They often involve help or provide service to others. Collectively, they may be called "helpers;" in ancient times, they would have been healers.
Enterprising occupations involve starting up and carrying out projects. These occupations can involve leading people and making many decisions. Sometimes they require risk taking and often deal with business. Examples of that type of occupations may include an architect, product owner, and self-employed. Collectively, they may be called "creators;" in ancient times, they would have been leaders.
Conventional occupations involve following set procedures and routines. These occupations can include working with data and details more than with ideas. Usually there is a clear line of authority to follow. Examples of that type of occupations may include an accountant, assistant, bookkeeper, clerk, document management specialist, laborer, and technical writer. Collectively, they may be called "organizers;" in ancient times, they would have been guardians.
