The case of Thandi Thandi is a 30-year-old African female. Thandi completed
her BCom degree in Industrial and Organisational Psychology (IOP) in 2013
and her BCom honours degree in Industrial and Organisational Psychology
(IOP) in 2015. Her husband is a mechanical engineer and they have two
children under the age of six. The family lives in an urban area. Thandi is the
first-born in a family of five, all of whom were born and raised in a semi-rural
area. They all attended public schools for both primary and secondary
education. From a young age, Thandi was very curious and liked to do things
in a routine manner. Upon completing her BCom degree in 2013, Thandi got a
job with a local accounting firm. She welcomed this job, as her family was
struggling to make ends meet. Thandi informed her employers that she would
like to further her studies and they therefore paid the tuition fees for her to
obtain her BCom honours degree. Now that she has completed her honours
degree, she has begun to question her career choice. She enjoys the accounting
environment because it is routine; however, she is bored with the numerical
nature of her work. She wants more, but she cannot clearly identify what she
wants. Her line manager refers Thandi to an industrial and organisational
(IO) psychologist for career counselling and guidance. She hopes to get
assistance in making the right career choice. After a few sessions with the IO
psychologist, Thandi completes some career assessments. The results are
presented in table 1 below. Table 1: Assessment information Assessment
