any additional knowledge area with a rating that was higher than the average rating for
that knowledge area for all jobs. We listed as many as six knowledge areas in descending
order.

midpoint of the rating scale.! e order does not indicate any condition’s frequency on
the job. Consider whether you like these conditions and whether any of these conditions
would make you uncomfortable. Keep in mind that when hazards are present (for
