About HollandPath and our editorial standards
Who maintains HollandPath, how we research and update Holland Code and RIASEC guidance, and how to report a correction.
Our purpose
HollandPath helps people explore career interests with a free Holland Code (RIASEC) assessment and plain-language career guidance. We aim to make the limits of the result as clear as its usefulness: an interest profile is a starting point for exploration, not a diagnosis or a promise about a particular job.
Who maintains this site
HollandPath content is researched, written and maintained by the HollandPath Editorial Team. The team combines editorial work with review of career-interest research, assessment design and the practical experience described in our sources.
We do not invent author identities, professional credentials, expert reviewers or citations. When a page has named specialist review, that person and their role will be shown on the page.
How we research and write
Our editorial process follows four principles:
- Separate established research from practical guidance. RIASEC concepts, assessment results and career suggestions are not presented as the same kind of evidence.
- Link to primary or authoritative sources. Where a factual claim depends on research, we link to the paper, public agency or standards body behind it.
- Use plain language without hiding uncertainty. We explain what a source supports, what it does not settle, and where readers should consider local or professional advice.
- Keep product benefits separate from evidence claims. A paid report can add structure and personalisation, but payment does not make a career-interest result more scientifically definitive.
Dates and updates
Pages show a publication date where relevant and a last-updated date when the content is materially revised. We update a date when the substance, sourcing or interpretation changes, not merely when a page is technically redeployed.
If a page cites a source that has been corrected or superseded, we review the affected statement and update the page when appropriate.
Corrections
If you find an error, an outdated source or wording that could mislead readers, contact us at 2447598896jin@gmail.com. Please include the page URL and the specific passage. We review substantive corrections and update the page when the evidence warrants it.
Important limit
Career-interest results cannot measure every ability, value, constraint or opportunity. They should not replace current local information, professional career advice, medical advice or a decision that requires a qualified specialist.
