The NEW fifth
edition of the SDS is designed to help clients learn about themselves and their career
options. Whether they are college students choosing a major, veterans entering the civilian
job market, or adults pursuing a career change, clients can use the SDS to learn more
about occupations that match their interests, abilities, and
personalities.
Like its predecessors, the
SDS 5th Edition is based on John Holland’s theory that both people and work
environments can be classified according to six basic types: Realistic, Investigative,
Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. These personality types are
known collectively as the Holland RIASEC model.
The SDS asks questions about the individual’s aspirations,
activities, competencies, and level of interest in different occupations. From the responses,
the SDS generates a three-letter Summary Code, which can be used to help the individual
find his or her educational and occupational matches.
This easy-to-use, comprehensive career exploration tool asks questions
about the individual’s aspirations, activities, competencies, occupations, and other
self-estimates. The resulting three-letter Summary Code, which designates the three
personality types an individual most closely resembles, can then be used to help the
individual find his or her occupational match.

Edition can be used together for educational planning and career development, as
