Capability

  • 1

    Oral Expression - The ability to communicate information and ideas when speaking, so that others can understand what is being conveyed

  • 2

    Inductive Reasoning - The ability to combine pieces of information to form general rules and conclusions (including finding relationships between seemingly unconnected events).

  • 3

    Oral Understanding - The ability to listen and understand information and ideas conveyed through words and oral sentences

  • 4

    Problem Sensitivity - The ability to tell when something is wrong or maybe wrong. This does not involve solving the problem, only knowing if there is a problem.
