Holland’s hexagonal personality model for a sample of Greek university students

Abstract

The aim of this study was to describe the hexagonal person-environment fit for the Holland personality types for a Greek sample of 156 university students. The statistical analysis followed both exploratory—such as multidimensional scaling—and confirmatory methods—such as covariance structure models. These methods were employed in an exploratory sense, in a descriptive attempt to portray Holland’s hexagon structure for this Greek sample. The findings of this study are comparable to the overall theory and other international samples, and also serve as a first psychometric testing of the Self-Directed Search in a Greek population.
