In order to facilitate the evaluation of professional orientation, John L. Holland developed vocational theory according to a hexagonal model postulating that professional personality and work environments are subdivided into six distinct types in Western societies. In addition to their interests, the personality of the individual, that is to say their personal characteristics, contributes to a better understanding of the vocational choice. The main objective of this study concerns the redesign of the Quebec version of the Enterprising Scale of the Typological Inventory of Personal Characteristics (EE-ITCP-72-R). For this study, 308 Franco-Quebec participants were recruited. The EE-ITCP-72-R includes 12 personal characteristics. Exploratory factor analysis also supports that the Enterprising Scale of the Holland's RIASEC model is not unidimensional and can be subdivided into three dimensions. The internal consistency indices of each dimension are also adequate. To conclude, being based on Holland's vocational theory, the EE-ITCP-72-R makes it possible to determine the vocational profile in relation to the professional personality of the Enterprising type. In addition, the presence of dimensions makes it possible to refine the profile in order to illustrate the individuality of the respondent with greater precision and to ensure the greatest adequacy with the type of job sought.
