If one of your themes is Conventional -- or the “C” in the Holland Codes wheel -- exactly what does that mean?
The Strong Interest Inventory uses six general themes to describe your personality. These themes also help identify the type of work you might enjoy. Most people find that there is a combination of themes that best describe them. You are most likely to enjoy work that is closely related to your top themes.
If one of your top themes is Conventional then you should know….
Conventional people are organizers! Being “conventional” you like structure, rules and procedures. You might describe yourself as methodical. You are likely good at math and even though you can be ambitious you don’t like to stand out.

- Conventional people describe themselves as efficient, persistent, and practical.
- They are attracted to work environments that are businesslike with well-ordered reporting lines.
