Explanation:

John Holland's Theory of Career Choice is based on the premise  that  in the process of choosing a career, people prefer jobs where they can be around others who are like them . They rather search for environments that will allow them use their skills and abilities, and express their attitudes and values, while taking on enjoyable problems and roles.

John Holland’s theory is centered on the notion that most people fit into one of six personality types, these are: Realistic , Investigative , Artistic , Social , Enterprising  and Conventional.

According to him, the Investigative (Thinkers)  are those people that prefer to work with "data". They prefer to "think and observe rather than act; to organize and understand information rather than to persuade". Additionally, the investigative people prefer "individual rather than people oriented activities".

Some of the sample majors and careers include:

Archivist/Librarian (with Social and Conventional)

Bio-statistics/Masters in Public Health (with Conventional)
