Resumo

The present paper examines the vocational profile of a simple of 426 undergraduate students of Psychology, using the professional interests inventory SDS (Self-Directed Search) from Holland (1994). The SDS states the existence of six different personality types, associated with their respective work environments: Realist (R), Investigative (I), Artistic (A), Social (S), Enterprising (E), and Conventional (C). The relationships between these six typologies are organized in a hexagonal array, in which adjacent types are closely related, and types placed at opposite places of the hexagon are less related. This hexagonal structure was partially confirmed by the data using Multidimensional Scaling (MDS). Additionally, the results showed that the average profile of the Psychology students was, as would be expected, closer to S type per-sonality, although significant differences were found with respect to both gender and the psychological speciality areas (Clinical, Educational, Social, or Mixed) chosen by the students.
