Interests and skills

Interests – things you want to learn about or activities you like

Skills – abilities natural or learned to do things well

  • functional skills – things you do, strengths you have from birth.
  • subject skills – things you know, your expertise
  • personal trait skills – ways you act, ways you handle yourself and interact with the world

The mix of these three kinds of skills makes you unique.
