The 50+ Skills needed to be an Investment Banking Analyst

In my MBA curriculum, I had to study Human Resource Management wherein I came across this site/tool which helps you to get a Job Description for different roles/profiles. I was really interested to look into what skills I might need to start my IB career as an analyst and decided to search for the requisite skills.

When I reached the site it showed my 50+ skills needed to be a Financial Analyst, with half of them needed to work on platforms which I had hardly heard of.

What's the opinion of you guys on this? Since this was developed for the U.S. Department of Labor by the National Center for O*NET Development hence it should be pretty trustworthy.
