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