OIP+ SA1
Occupational Interest Profile Plus South Africa
A structured career interests assessment that provides insight into the types of roles individuals are drawn to and the work environments in which they are most likely to thrive.
Structured Career Interest Assessment
The OIP+ is partially based on the pioneering work of John Holland in the area of general career themes, though it also includes personality characteristics, which assesses how well suited individuals are to different environments. It provides structured insight into the types of roles individuals are drawn to and the work environments in which they are most likely to thrive.
What It Measures
Vocational Interests
Eight broad interest areas that identify work areas an individual is likely to enjoy, assessing how well suited they are to different environments
Work Needs
Five personal work needs that assess how well suited a candidate is to different environments
Together, these dimensions support structured career exploration and development discussions.
