This exploratory pilot study tried to investigate the relationships between Holland’s RIASEC personality types and productive language skills among 104 Iranian EFL learners in the city of Kashan, at three proficiency levels. Participants took the Oxford Quick Placement Test, IELTS Mock Test, and Holland’s Vocational Typology Test, as well. Due to small and unequal sample sizes (ranging from n = 0 to n = 15), traditional inferential statistics were underpowered. Descriptive statistics and effect size calculations indicated modest variations: Artistic and Social types exhibited higher speaking scores at lower proficiency levels, while Enterprising learners showed stronger writing performance at higher proficiency levels. However, effect sizes were small to negligible (η² = .01–.15), suggesting limited practical associations. These preliminary findings imply that Holland’s personality framework may have minimal explanatory power regarding L2 productive skills. Nonetheless, the exploratory nature of the present study and its limited sample size prevent drawing definitive conclusions.
