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