Values vs Skills: What's the Difference?

A skill describes something you can learn and perform. A value describes something you consider important.

Example

Skill: data analysis. Value: accuracy. A person can have strong data-analysis skills but not place high personal importance on analytical work.

They can reinforce each other

Another person may strongly value accuracy and enjoy developing the skills needed to achieve it.
