Post 1- Defining Skills

We need to define “skills” so we have an understanding of what skills we have and the skills we need to develop. We then need to apply this knowledge for the exams.

Web definitions of "skills" 
"A skill is the learned capacity to carry out pre-determined results often with the minimum outlay of time, energy, or both. Skills can often be divided into domain-general and domain-specific skills." Wikipedia definition of "skills"

"The ability, coming from one's knowledge, practice, aptitude. Etc, to do something well." Dictionary Reference of "skills"

"Proficiency, facility, or dexterity that is acquired or developed through training or experience." Answers definition of "skills"

My definition of "skills"
"Skills” is knowledge we have gained through experience and teachings. We are able to develop our “skills” through practice."

• Cognitive Skills: Mental skills in acquiring knowledge
• Technical Skills: Editing suite, using a camera
• Interpersonal Skills: How you talk with people, working with others
