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