Which assessments include an interest inventory based on Holland's Code and can provide longitudinal data about career development?

• A. Explore and Plan
• B. MBTI
• C. SAT
• D. ACT

Answer: (A)

Interest inventories that use Holland’s Code (RIASEC) are built to reveal a person’s long-term career preferences and then track how those preferences shift as they gain experiences and make plans. The tool that fits this purpose best is a program designed for exploring options and planning a student’s path, and it includes an interest inventory rooted in Holland’s framework. Because it’s intended for ongoing use across school years, it yields longitudinal data—showing how interests and career direction evolve over time as students progress.

The other options don’t match this combination. The MBTI focuses on personality type rather than Holland’s interest codes. The SAT and ACT are standardized achievement/admissions tests, not career-interest inventories, and they aren’t designed to provide longitudinal data about career development.
