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
