Vandlism on this page
The References indicate "Holland Ta mere suce des graines". Which translates from French to "Holland your mum suck nuts." I sincerely doubt this is the proper reference but for some reason am unable to edit it. Can someone please correct it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.143.133.33 (talk) 14:28, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

major edit April 2009
I have rewritten the introduction so that it more closely conforms to what Holland actually wrote when presenting his theory. From the first few paragraphs, I also removed the links that were enumerated as if they were footnotes. One link was dead, one went to a source that had no identifying information,  one was to a commercial site that is linked repeatedly in this article,  and one that was just not a good source.

I plan to do more work on this article as time permits. Pgm8693 (talk) 21:04, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

changed image
The image that had been here showed a hexagon divided into pie shaped wedges. That is not how Holland represented his theory of types. In fact, he labeled the corners of the hexagon on the outside for the specific reason that he wanted to emphasize that the distance between the corners,  across the hexagon,  corresponded to the size of the correlation between the types. For example, he measured the correlation between Artistic and Conventional as .11 ... that's the lowest correlation between any two codes,  and correspondingly,  they are arrayed on the hexagon at the greatest distance possible. Showing the hexagon as comprised of wedges is inconsistent with Holland's view and with the typical way in which the Holland codes are graphically displayed. See for example, Richard Bolles' "What color is your parachute." Pgm8693 (talk) 20:59, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Someone is posting a section and links to a commercial tool based on Holland Codes called SDS. Please help prevent this advertising. 46.116.138.5 (talk) 19:15, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Does the arrangement of corners of the hexagon mean anything? —Tamfang (talk) 23:32, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. Holland explains it in his book, "Making vocational choices: a theory of careers." Englewood Cliffs: Prentice-Hall, 1973. -Classicfilms (talk) 01:50, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
