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