All of the following are examples of soft skills, EXCEPT _________.

• A. Communication
• B. Adaptability
• C. Having good study habits
• D. Teamwork

Answer: (C)

Soft skills are the interpersonal abilities that let you interact effectively with others and work well in a team. Communication, adaptability, and teamwork all fit this idea because they involve how you relate to people, adjust to changes, and collaborate with colleagues. Having good study habits, however, describes how you organize your own learning—your time management, focus, and study routines. Those are personal management skills that enhance your individual performance rather than how you interact with others. So, while valuable, they’re not considered a soft skill in the same sense, making it the exception.
