Holland's theory categorizes people into six personality types (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional) and suggests that people are more satisfied and productive when their work environments match their personality types. The counselor's conclusion about Alice's difficulty in selling herself to employers due to her Realistic rather than Enterprising personality directly aligns with Holland's theory.
