Non-Cognitive Skills

[Researcher]

Non-cognitive skills are also referred to as non-academic skills, soft skills, college readiness
and workplace skills. They often consist of behavioral skills, such as study skills; personal
development skills, such as motivation or social skills, and skills that aid with the transition
from high school to college. They are distinct from traditional measures of academic success,
such as GPA; they are also distinct from “cognitive” skills that encompass measures of learning
and intellect.
