- Strong critical-thinking and analytical skills, with the ability to recognize relationships between information, identify inconsistencies, and apply knowledge from previous tasks and situations to new circumstances
- Ability to recognize when information, calculations, or results appear unusual or inconsistent and independently investigate or seek clarification before proceeding
- Ability to follow established procedures and written instructions accurately and consistently
- Ability to retain training and instructions and apply them appropriately to subsequent tasks without repeated direction
