• Define: Skills are acquired through
education, training and experience
• Changeable: Yes, they change with use
and additional development
• Use: Identify which skills you possess
and which skills you need to develop for a
target job. Don’t pursue a career just
because you have the skills for the role.
• Note: There are both personal and
cultural differences in how people self-rate
their skills. If you think you tend to
"undervalue" your own skill level, take that
into account when considering your
results.

difficulty adapting to corporate cultures too
different from their own personalities.

necessarily “good” or “bad” to be high or
low on a Culture Match trait.
