Required Abilities
- Manual Dexterity — The ability to quickly move your hand,
your hand together with your arm, or your two hands to grasp,
manipulate, or assemble objects.
- Control Precision — The ability to quickly and repeatedly adjust the controls of a machine to exact positions.
- Auditory Attention — The ability to focus on a single source of sound in the presence of other distracting sounds.
- Finger Dexterity — The ability to make precisely coordinated
movements of the fingers of one or both hands to grasp, manipulate, or
assemble very small objects.
- Near Vision — The ability to see details at close range (within a few feet of the observer).
- Information Ordering
— The ability to arrange things or actions in a certain order or
pattern according to a specific rule or set of rules (e.g., patterns of
numbers, letters, words, pictures, mathematical operations).
- Problem Sensitivity —
The ability to tell when something is wrong or is likely to go wrong.
It does not involve solving the problem, only recognizing there is a
problem.
- Reaction Time — The ability to quickly respond (with the hand, finger, or foot) to a signal (sound, light, picture) when it appears.
- Selective Attention — The ability to concentrate on a task over a period of time without being distracted.
- Visualization — The ability to imagine how something will look after it is moved around or when its parts are moved or rearranged.
- Deductive Reasoning — The ability to apply general rules to specific problems to produce answers that make sense.
- Inductive Reasoning —
The ability to combine pieces of information to form general rules or
conclusions (includes finding a relationship among seemingly unrelated
events).
- Oral Comprehension — The ability to listen to and understand information and ideas presented through spoken words and sentences.
- Oral Expression — The ability to communicate information and ideas in speaking so others will understand.
- Written Comprehension — The ability to read and understand information and ideas presented in writing.
- Speech Recognition — The ability to identify and understand the speech of another person.
- Mathematical Reasoning — The ability to choose the right mathematical methods or formulas to solve a problem.
- Number Facility — The ability to add, subtract, multiply, or divide quickly and correctly.
- Speech Clarity — The ability to speak clearly so others can understand you.
- Speed of Closure — The ability to quickly make sense of, combine, and organize information into meaningful patterns.
- Static Strength — The ability to exert maximum muscle force to lift, push, pull, or carry objects.
- Trunk Strength — The ability to use your abdominal and lower back muscles to support part of the body repeatedly or continuously over time without 'giving out' or fatiguing.
- Perceptual Speed — The ability to quickly and accurately compare similarities and differences among sets of letters, numbers, objects, pictures, or patterns. The things to be compared may be presented at the same time or one after the other. This ability also includes comparing a presented object with a remembered object.
