A Ability HF-D10.1-002 cross-sector 5 skills
Hand-eye coordination
Aligns hand and arm movements with what the eyes see and keeps the movement precisely on course while machining or positioning workpieces.
How hrmforce measures this
- Assessment method
- Simulation
- hrmforce instrument
- Work sample test
- Competency (50-framework)
- Accuracy
- Trainability
- low
- Demand outlook 2026 to 2030
- stable
Simulated work situation, usually digital, with standardised scoring.
This is a selection criterion, not a short-term development goal. Do not put a three-month development plan on it.
Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Follows a marked line or indication by hand and keeps the tool in the direction pointed out. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Positions moving material to size, adjusts the movement to what is visible and keeps pace with the process. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Masters operations in which sight and movement change constantly, defines the working method for these and assesses others on it. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession |
N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.
Underlying skills
These skills inherit the assessment route and the behavioural anchors of this construct.
