The emphasis rating shown below, combines the importance, proficiency, frequency and difficulty rankings to give a weighted, overall rating. This was used to prioritize and determine which skills were eventually considered most important to be included in the final list. The first term in brackets weights the number of responses compared to the 41 total respondents. Not all respondents replied to every skill in the list if their expertise was outside of the area for example. Both Importance and Difficulty are weighted given multiplying factors of three and two respectively to reflect their emphasis.
