Don't tell me that you have special skills and have 'thousand of live in your hands every day" - that's b.s. and you know it.
For what it's worth, WELLCONCERNED is right about this one... sorry guys but Air Traffic Controllers display only one category of intelligence to any high degree, Spatial Reasoning.
Depending on which model of intelligence you use, there are eight different categories of intelligence, of which, it could be argued that Air Traffic Control requires three in particular... Spatial Reasoning, Mathematics and Language (English Comprehension). Spatial Reasoning is the only area that is tested, exercised and observed in application to a high level. Simple mathematics fast and accurate... we don't use any University level mathematics in the course of our duties. To be honest, a Year 10 school leaver could display the mathematics required for the job. English comprehension to a very basic level only... the job uses codified language to a great extent and the use of non-standard phraseologies is not permitted... isn't it?
