I was digging through my notes and found this scrap of paper for a course I took at Foothill (CLRP 70 Self Assessment). On the scrap was this theory RIASEC Theory or Holland's Hexagon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIASEC). This represents six distinct personality types and potential matching careers for those personality types. There's a relation between people and their environment, and when they are working in the environment, they can get the most enjoyment from their job.
In reading one website, called the Career Key (http://www.careerkey.org/asp/your_personality/hollands_theory_of_career_choice.html#twist), they noted that most people are multiple types, and should find compatible careers, where the job involves related job types (that is to the left or right of the hexagon angle).
Given that many new jobs these days are requiring cross-field experience, such as project management with technology (software engineering or information technology), this might be important to evaluate personality types for the best match.
