Realistic Type: Work Environment

Persons having a Realistic personality type "dominate" this environment. There are more of them than there are people of other personality types. For example, at a construction site there will be more persons having a "Realistic" personality than there will be people who have a Social or Artistic type.

"Realistic" people create a "Realistic" environment. For example, they particularly value people who are practical and mechanical -- who are good at working with tools, mechanical or electrical drawings, machines, or animals.

Examples of occupations that have a Realistic environment are:

Carpenter
Diesel Mechanic

Farmer

Fire Fighter
Flight Engineer
Forester
Locksmith

Locomotive Engineer

Truck Driver
