Analytical skill is the skill of performing

an analysis. Such skills include the ability
to apply logical thinking in order to break
complex problems into their component
parts. This can be contrasted against
non-cognitive skills, such as balancing
while walking, riding a bike, carpentry, or
playing a musical instrument.
In the article by Freed,[1] the need for
programs within the educational system
to help students develop these skills is
demonstrated. "According to scholars,
workers 'will need more than elementary
basic skills to maintain the standard of
living of their parents. They will have to
think for a living, analyze problems and
solutions, and work cooperatively in
teams' (Thoughtful Teachers, Thoughtful
Schools 1998, xi)."[2][3][4]
