A 5 classes taxonomy for soft skills, by ChatGPT of OpenAI [dec 2022]

Question : 

Hello ChatGPT, a taxonomy of soft skills should help employees to choose the soft skills training modules they need. What would you suggest as a taxonomy with five classes ?

ChatGPT response

There are many different ways to classify soft skills, but here is a possible taxonomy with five classes:

1. Communication skills: These are skills that involve effectively conveying information and ideas to others, such as verbal and written communication, active listening, and presenting.
2. Interpersonal skills: These are skills that involve interacting with other people in a positive and productive manner, such as empathy, conflict resolution, and teamwork.
3. Adaptability skills: These are skills that help individuals adapt to new situations or challenges, such as flexibility, problem-solving, and decision-making.
4. Leadership skills: These are skills that involve guiding and motivating others, such as setting goals, delegating tasks, and inspiring team members.
5. Personal effectiveness skills: These are skills that help individuals manage their own time, priorities, and resources effectively, such as time management, organization, and self-motivation.

Again, it's important to note that this is just one possible way to classify soft skills and there are many other ways to do so. The most important thing is to choose a classification system that makes sense for your specific needs and goals.

Notre étude sur les référentiels de soft skills, réalisée en 2020 [2], a fait émerger plusieurs questions sur les caractéristiques d'un référentiel de soft skills, restées à ce jour sans réponses définitives, notamment :

1. Combien de soft skills le référentiel doit-il compter ? Par exemple, 25, dans un "document de travail" publié par France Stratégie [3], 10, dans le livret sur la période de formation humaine distribué aux élèves-ingénieurs lors de l'incorporation par l'Ecole polytechnique [4]?
2. Quelle logique de présentation / organisation / classification des soft skills ? Par exemple, cinq classes, comme "cognitif, conatif, relationnel, émotionnel, environnemental" [3], ou trois classes, comme "aptitudes personnelles, aptitudes relationnelles, aptitudes générales en situation de responsabilité" [4] ?
