Capability

  • 1

    Written Expression - The ability to communicate information and ideas in writing so that others can understand

  • 2

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

  • 3

    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.
