Discover Your Holland Code

Everyone has unique strengths, interests, and ways of learning. Holland Codes help you identify the types of activities and environments that fit you best. Your Holland Code is made up of three letters that represent your top interest areas.  The three letters are presented in order of interests, with the first letter representing your strongest interest.  These results can be used to identify potential areas of study and career suggestions that you may have not considered.

Not sure what your code is? If you are an NFA student, log into your SchooLinks account and take the “Would You Rather” interest assessment to discover your Holland Code. 

Not yet a student at NFA? You can take a similar survey here.
