According to Pew Research Center, among ten important skills for children to get ahead into the globalized world, communication is the most important skill (90%) to compare with reading, math, teamwork, writing, logic, science, athletics, music and science (Goo, 2015). It may still seem like a stretch to say that interpersonal communication skills are more important than intelligence. Consider automation, however:
As technology continues to progress, it’s becoming painfully obvious that more jobs than just those centered around production lines are in jeopardy of being made obsolete. In fact, certain forecasters predict that the job market of the near future will consist of only two types of people: those who know how to design and operate automated systems, and those with creative and social skills whose job it will be to deal directly with customers (Leung, 2016). In essence, soft skills may soon be some of the only marketable skills that new hires can bring to the table. According to common sense and the purpose of this study, the scope will be narrowed down into two categories of personal skills and interpersonal skills. It is, then, identified as in NCWD (2011):
