Physical skill measures the level of physical agility and fitness that are
inherent in the nature of the job and are required to perform the
job competently. This factor measures those jobs that specifically require
above average levels of physical ability, such as labourers, sportspersons,
dancers, and combat personnel.
The level of proficiency required in the physical activity is measured by
the factor Proficiency. For example, while a ballerina may require
a Level 4 physical capability, the level of proficiency required of the
ballerina is assessed by Proficiency. Proficiency may be through training,
inherent ability, or both.
