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