Resembling his [[Ninth Doctor|predecessor]], the Tenth Doctor had a talent for taking command, earning people's trust despite initial animosity ([[TV]]: ''[[The Age of Steel (TV story)|The Age of Steel]]'', ''[[Fear Her (TV story)|Fear Her]]'', ''[[The Impossible Planet (TV story)|The Impossible Planet]]'', ''[[Voyage of the Damned (TV story)|Voyage of the Damned]]'', ''[[The Waters of Mars (TV story)|The Waters of Mars]]'') even able to convince complete strangers to reveal secretive information. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rise of the Cybermen (TV story)|Rise of the Cybermen]]'', ''[[The Idiot's Lantern (TV story)|The Idiot's Lantern]]'', ''[[The Fires of Pompeii (TV story)|The Fires of Pompeii]]'') He had a gift for exerting authority: he replaced the Sycorax leader's authority despite the alien trying to harm him, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'') shut down [[Eddie Connolly]] for his constant resistance to assistance, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Idiot's Lantern (TV story)|The Idiot's Lantern]]'') calmed the crew on the space station at [[Krop Tor]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Satan Pit (TV story)|The Satan Pit]]'') the bus passengers who were lost on a distant planet ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Dead (TV story)|Planet of the Dead]]'') and [[Luke Smith]], [[Clyde Langer]] and [[Rani Chandra]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith (TV story)|The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith]]'') Even the most resistant of individuals would eventually submit to his way of thinking, including [[Yvonne Hartman]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Army of Ghosts (TV story)|Army of Ghosts]]'') UNIT ([[TV]]: ''[[The Poison Sky (TV story)|The Poison Sky]]'') and [[Rossiter]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') Some would even actively come to his defense when others thought he was a threat or a nuisance to the public. ([[TV]]: ''[[Voyage of the Damned (TV story)|Voyage of the Damned]]'') However, when struggling to solve the issue at hand, people would dismiss his perceived authority as egotistical. Rather than following him, they would actively turn against him. ([[TV]]: ''[[Midnight (TV story)|Midnight]]'') Some would even resist when feeling his actions were irrational.

([[TV]]: ''[[Tooth and Claw (TV story)|Tooth and Claw]]'', ''[[Planet of the Ood]]'', ''[[The Doctor's Daughter]]'') Despite his nimble stature, the Doctor was very strong, managing to easily yank the Sycorax leader's electric whip from his grip and snap it in half, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'') freed [[Morvin Van Hoff]] from the grip of a damaged [[Heavenly Host]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Voyage of the Damned (TV story)|Voyage of the Damned]]''), held off a Cyberman with a sword ([[TV]]: ''[[The Next Doctor (TV story)|The Next Doctor]]'') and lifted a grown woman in the air and threw her away from danger in such a way that she landed on her feet. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Arts in Space (comic story)|The Arts in Space]]'') Although, he was overpowered by a policeman, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Idiot's Lantern (TV story)|The Idiot's Lantern]]'') {{Simm}}, ([[TV]]: ''[[Last of the Time Lords (TV story)|Last of the Time Lords]]'') and River Song ([[TV]]: ''[[Forest of the Dead (TV story)|Forest of the Dead]]'') each of them only having to [[punch]] him once in the face, and was unable to escape the grip of two fully functioning hosts.

Like his previous incarnations, the Tenth Doctor was exceptionally intelligent, being able to figure out solutions to problems even when they were created by an equally intelligent opponent. ([[TV]]: ''[[School Reunion]]'', ''[[The Sound of Drums]]'') He also possessed a heightened sense of smell, which he used to tell which time period he was in by smelling the air, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Unicorn and the Wasp]]'') and track down the Master. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') He also demonstrated the ability to determine the properties of an object by taste.

The | The Tenth Doctor was skilled at mechanics, having built [[K9 Mark IV]] to replace the [[K9 Mark III|Mark III]] after he was destroyed, ([[TV]]: ''[[School Reunion]]'') as well as being able to construct a variant of other gadgets. ([[TV]]: ''[[Blink]]'', ''[[The Day of the Doctor]]'') He was also able to lock the coordinates of the TARDIS with his sonic screwdriver so that it could only travel to two places in time and space.

The Doctor was a skilled pilot, on a few occasions able to take control and navigate a spacecraft through and out of danger. ([[TV]]: ''[[Voyage of the Damned]]'', ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') He also followed the trend of his immediate predecessor in displaying increasing skill for using the TARDIS, landing with great accuracy in intended time periods, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lazarus Experiment (TV story)|The Lazarus Experiment]]'', ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem (TV story)|The Sontaran Stratagem]]'') and even using it in the form of a standard spaceship rather than simply dematerialising it on several occasions. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'', ''[[Partners in Crime]]'') When told by [[River Song]] that he would one day be able to command the TARDIS door to open with a snap of his fingers, he found that he did possess such abilities, after initially believing it to be nonsense.
