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