Which of the following is NOT one of the three main types of performance skills?

• A. Time management
• B. Memory
• C. Motor skills
• D. Social interaction skills

Answer: (A)

Performance skills are organized into three broad categories: motor skills, process skills, and social interaction skills. Time management is a specific way a person plans, sequences, paces, and organizes actions during an activity, which fits under process skills rather than forming its own separate category. That’s why it isn’t considered one of the three main performance-skill types. Motor skills and social interaction skills are themselves the main categories, and memory, while important for performance, is a cognitive element that supports process skills rather than standing as its own main type.
