Traditionally, there were two main types of skills that were recognized, cognitive and technical. Cognitive competency is linked to knowledge and is the most sought after in school. This skill is, in fact, the one that you are currently employing while reading these lines. As far as technical competency, it is linked to the “know how” and everything that has to do with the development of technical abilities such as plumbing or electricity, intellectual abilities such as computer programming, accounting, or practicing law. To these two ‘classical’ types of skills extends relational competency, our ability to interact with others. This skill is very important and always present each time we communicate with others. Finally, and very recently, we have become aware of a fourth type of skill that we call emotional competency, our ability to experience things, feel emotions, and react accordingly.

Thanks to the latest scientific research on the brain, we understand that the types of competencies described above are not only a mindset overview but also a true biological reality. In fact, recent studies have enabled us to understand that each skill has its own specific learning method, its own specific memory system, and even its own specific nervous structures.
