psychological assessment for subject and career guidance in high
school.
b) Briefly describe the real-life situation you explored. (2)
A family friend’s daughter in Grade 9 recently had to select her
subjects for the Further Education and Training (FET) phase. To
assist her, the school recommended an educational psychologist who
provided career counselling. The process included completing
psychological tests to measure her interests, aptitudes, and
personality traits, which would guide her subject choices. I observed
parts of the process through discussions with her parents and by
reviewing the reports they shared with me.
