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