Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Hearing Instrument Specialist field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Hearing Instrument Specialist majors need many skills, but most especially Active Listening. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Hearing Instrument Specialist majors need more than the average amount of Repairing, Equipment Maintenance, Equipment Selection, Troubleshooting, Quality Control Analysis, Service Orientation, Operation Monitoring, Technology Design, Instructing, Persuasion, Active Listening, Learning Strategies, Social Perceptiveness, Systems Evaluation, Negotiation, Systems Analysis, Speaking, Management of Material Resources, Coordination, Time Management, Active Learning, Critical Thinking, Monitoring, Judgment and Decision Making, Complex Problem Solving, Reading Comprehension, Writing, Mathematics, Management of Personnel Resources, Programming, Management of Financial Resources, Operation and Control, Science, Operations Analysis, and Installation.
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 Hearing Instrument Specialist 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 Repairing is very distinctive for majors, but the Active Listening, Service Orientation, Speaking, Instructing, Critical Thinking, Reading Comprehension, Social Perceptiveness, Persuasion, Active Learning, Judgment and Decision Making, Writing, Monitoring, Complex Problem Solving, Learning Strategies, Coordination, Time Management, Systems Evaluation, Quality Control Analysis, Systems Analysis, Negotiation, Operation Monitoring, Mathematics, Troubleshooting, Repairing, Management of Personnel Resources, Equipment Maintenance, Equipment Selection, Management of Material Resources, Technology Design, Management of Financial Resources, Science, Operation and Control, Operations Analysis, Programming, and Installation are the three most important skills for people in the field.
