These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for Other Fire Protection majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Equipment Maintenance is very distinctive for majors, but the Monitoring, Critical Thinking, Coordination, Active Listening, Speaking, Judgment and Decision Making, Reading Comprehension, Complex Problem Solving, Active Learning, Time Management, Service Orientation, Social Perceptiveness, Instructing, Operation Monitoring, Learning Strategies, Management of Personnel Resources, Writing, Operation and Control, Systems Analysis, Persuasion, Systems Evaluation, Negotiation, Quality Control Analysis, Troubleshooting, Equipment Maintenance, Mathematics, Repairing, Equipment Selection, Management of Material Resources, Operations Analysis, Science, Management of Financial Resources, Technology Design, Programming, and Installation are the three most important skills for people in the field.
