What are Life Skills?

WHO defines Life Skills as "the abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable the individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life?"

Life Skills are psychosocial abilities that enable individuals to translate knowledge, attitudes and values regarding their concerns into well-informed and healthy behaviors. Empowered with these skills, young people are able to take decisions based on a logical process of "what to do, why to do, how to do and when to do".

Important Skills tested

Self Awareness
It involves the recognition of ‘self’, our character, our strengths and weaknesses, desires and dislikes. Developing self awareness can help us recognize when we are stressed or under pressure. It is often a prerequisite to effective communication and interpersonal relations, as well as for developing empathy.
Empathy
It is required to develop a successful relationship with our loved ones and society at large. It is the ability to imagine what life is like for another person. Without empathy, our communication with others will amount to a one-way traffic. It can help us to accept others, who may be very different from ourselves.
Critical Thinking
It is an ability to analyze information and experiences in an objective manner. Critical thinking can contribute to a well balanced way of life by helping us to recognize and assess the factors that influence attitudes and behaviour, such as values, peer pressure and the media.
Creative Thinking
is a novel way of seeing or doing things that is characteristic of four components-fluency (generating new ideas), flexibility (shifting perspective easily), originality (conceiving of something new), and elaboration (building on others’ ideas).
Decision making
It helps us to deal constructively with decisions about our lives. It can teach people how to actively make decisions about their actions in relation to a healthy assessment of different options and, what effects these different decisions are likely to have.
Problem Solving

Interpersonal skills

It may mean maintaining good relations with family members who are the most important source of social support.
Effective Communication
