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 Developmental Economics & International Development 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 Management of Financial Resources is very distinctive for majors, but the Reading Comprehension, Mathematics, Writing, Active Listening, Critical Thinking, Active Learning, Judgment and Decision Making, Speaking, Complex Problem Solving, Monitoring, Systems Analysis, Learning Strategies, Systems Evaluation, Instructing, Management of Financial Resources, Persuasion, Social Perceptiveness, Coordination, Time Management, Service Orientation, Negotiation, Management of Personnel Resources, Science, Management of Material Resources, Operations Analysis, Programming, Technology Design, Quality Control Analysis, Equipment Selection, Installation, Operation Monitoring, Operation and Control, Equipment Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repairing are the three most important skills for people in the field.
