Quality Control Analysis -- Conducting tests and inspections of products, services, or processes to evaluate quality or performance.
Operation and Control -- Controlling operations of equipment or systems.
Operation Monitoring -- Watching gauges, dials, or other indicators to make sure a machine is working properly.
Troubleshooting -- Determining causes of operating errors and deciding what to do about it.
Equipment Selection -- Determining the kind of tools and equipment needed to do a job.
Science -- Using scientific rules and methods to solve problems.
Mathematics -- Using mathematics to solve problems.
Speaking -- Talking to others to convey information effectively.
Reading Comprehension -- Understanding written sentences and paragraphs in work related documents.
Equipment Maintenance -- Performing routine maintenance on equipment and determining when and what kind of maintenance is needed.
Near Vision -- The ability to see details at close range (within a few feet of the observer).
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.
Deductive Reasoning -- The ability to apply general rules to specific problems to produce answers that make sense.

Visualization -- The ability to imagine how something will look after it is moved around or when its parts are moved or rearranged.
Control Precision -- The ability to quickly and repeatedly adjust the controls of a machine or a vehicle to exact positions.
Oral Expression -- The ability to communicate information and ideas in speaking so others will understand.
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.
Number Facility -- The ability to add, subtract, multiply, or divide quickly and correctly.
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.
Repairing and Maintaining Electronic Equipment -- Servicing, repairing, calibrating, regulating, fine-tuning, or testing machines, devices, and equipment that operate primarily on the basis of electrical or electronic (not mechanical) principles.
Monitor Processes, Materials, or Surroundings -- Monitoring and reviewing information from materials, events, or the environment, to detect or assess problems.
Inspecting Equipment, Structures, or Material -- Inspecting equipment, structures, or materials to identify the cause of errors or other problems or defects.
Getting Information -- Observing, receiving, and otherwise obtaining information from all relevant sources.
Identifying Objects, Actions, and Events -- Identifying information by categorizing, estimating, recognizing differences or similarities, and detecting changes in circumstances or events.
Processing Information -- Compiling, coding, categorizing, calculating, tabulating, auditing, or verifying information or data.
Updating and Using Relevant Knowledge -- Keeping up-to-date technically and applying new knowledge to your job.
Controlling Machines and Processes -- Using either control mechanisms or direct physical activity to operate machines or processes (not including computers or vehicles).
Evaluating Information to Determine Compliance with Standards -- Using relevant information and individual judgment to determine whether events or processes comply with laws, regulations, or standards.
Analyzing Data or Information -- Identifying the underlying principles, reasons, or facts of information by breaking down information or data into separate parts.
