The Investigative Type
 |
People
who lean toward the investigative type often like
to work independently and on a cognitive level. They like
to think about and analyze ideas, problems and issues. Investigative
types may have strong math, science, and analytical abilities.
They prefer to study and understand situations and expand
their knowledge on subject matters. |
| Below
are examples of Rutgers University college majors and sample
career options that relate to the investigative type.
