Art Therapy

Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Art Therapy field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Art Therapy majors need many skills, but most especially Social Perceptiveness. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Art Therapy majors need more than the average amount of Equipment Selection, Social Perceptiveness, and Service Orientation.

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 Art Therapy 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 Selection is very distinctive for majors, but the Social Perceptiveness, Active Listening, and Speaking are the three most important skills for people in the field.
