Dictionary of Vocational Psychology
Calculus
Within later statements of Holland's theory (1973 forward), refers to the relationship within and between vocational personality types or work environments than one can order according to the hexagonal model. Types or environments closer to one another in the hexagon are assumed to be more similar and to in general produce better outcomes when contrasted through relevant constructs (congruence and consistency) in his theory. Holland (1985) refers to the calculus as "an abstract model for linking the main ideas so that the theory can be applied to practical or theoretical problems" (p. 29).
