, 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
