Where a puppeteer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a puppeteer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Puppeteers perform shows by manipulating puppets such as hand puppets or marionettes. Their performance is based on a script and the movements of the puppets have to be synchronised with the speech and music. Puppeteers may write their own scripts and design and create their own puppets.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a puppeteer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
