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