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