A
skill is the
learned ability to carry out a task with pre-determined results often within a given amount of
time,
energy, or both. In other words, the abilities that one possesses. Skills can often be divided into
domain-general and domain-specific skills. For example, in the domain of work, some general skills would include
time management,
teamwork and
leadership,
self-
motivation and others, whereas domain-specific skills would be useful only for a certain
job. Skill usually requires certain environmental stimuli and situations to assess the level of skill being shown and used.
