Neil is ambitious and energetic and likes to dominate conversations. Jessica is idealistic, impractical, and very imaginative. Walter is efficient and practical, but he lacks imagination and tends to be inflexible. Chris is analytical, independent, and an original thinker. According to Holland's Typology, Monica's personality type is "________."

A. artistic
B. enterprising
C. realistic
D. investigative
E. social

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "C": realistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

American psychologist John L. Holland (1919-2008) proposed a theory summarizing people's personalities in six (6) types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Realistic individuals tend to be shy, genuine, persistent, stable, confirming, and practical. They usually work as mechanics, drill press operators, assembly-line workers or farmers.

Thus, in Holland's Typology of Personalities Monica would be considered as realistic.
