What is my Holland code?
Your Holland code is a short RIASEC label—usually three letters—that summarizes which work activities you prefer most. Here is how to find it, what it means, and how to use it for career exploration.
Short answer
You get a Holland code by taking a Holland / RIASEC interest assessment. TypeAxis asks how much you like common work activities, scores six themes, then builds a high-point code (for example IAS). About 12 minutes; free summary; no account.
How to find your Holland code (3 steps)
- Take the free Holland code career test (same engine as the RIASEC career test).
- Review your six theme scores and the high-point code on the results page.
- Open the full report (free during early access) for more career matches, environments, and next steps—or browse a sample of Holland test results first.

What a Holland code is not
It is not an ability score, hiring decision, or clinical diagnosis. It will not replace skills, education, location, or values. Use it to narrow where to explore—not to lock a lifelong title.
