Abstrakt: The article presents information on a research study which focused on assessing the non-technical job-related skills of information technology (IT) professionals. Defined as soft skills, or practical intelligence, these abilities are generally acquired through on-the-job experience rather than formal instruction. A test for measuring this skill set, called SoftSkills for IT (SSIT) was administered to over 120 IT professionals and undergraduate students. The structure of the test is described, and its results are analyzed.
