Person-environment fit

Person-environment fit is like playing a game in the right place. Imagine that you love to play basketball, but the best place to play is not your backyard. If you try to play basketball in your backyard, you won't have a great time. That's because it's not the right place for you to play the game you love. Person-environment fit is when you find the right place (or environment) to do the things you love. It helps you to do those activities in a place that's best suited for them, and it helps you to be successful in those activities.
