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