Misconception: You must be an introverted intellectual type

The Incredible Librarian

In 1985 American psychologist John Holland further developed his occupational themes theory, asserting that there are 6 personality types which influence a person’s tendency to suit certain jobs.

According to Holland’s premise, those predisposed to Librarianship roles tend to be “Social, Artistic & Investigative” .

Holland states that socially inclined people are: "Kind, generous, cooperative, patient, caring, helpful, empathetic, tactful, and friendly. They excel at socializing, helping others, and teaching”.

 

They also like tasks that involve teamwork, social interaction, relationship building, and improvement of society”.
