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