Skill vs Ability: What's the Difference?
Ability is a broad capacity to perform or learn something. Skill is a more developed capability demonstrated through learning and practice.
Pattern recognition → data analysis
A person may have an ability to recognize patterns quickly. They could then develop the skill of data analysis through statistics, software training, projects, and feedback.
Potential versus demonstrated capability
A person can have an ability without having developed the corresponding skill. Likewise, sustained learning can develop high skill even without early intuitive ability.
