Can someone create (or point me to) a general list of skills that people might have?
I'm building a website where people need to select their skills and expertise from a list. I need help creating the list.
Can someone create or point me to a good, general list of skills that people might have?
I don't want the list to be too huge. Perhaps there can be root and sub-categories (example: Musician -> Drummer), but the list doesn't necessarily need to be that precise.

Something made by a government department aimed at either immigration or school students must exist.
Google gives me: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121i.pdf
but it will have some Australian terms and probably not be useful.

You may or may not be looking to put real money towards this, but I know for certain that software programs such as Resume Maker have skill sets included in them for various positions.

I've got the perfect website for you to look at, it's called SkillsTM.com. Sign up for it, and check this site out. They have a whole list of skills and this should answer your question. Here's an example below. Good luck!

Those are professions, not personal skills. Questioner, please clarify what you mean by "skills". Cook or chef? Put me on your beta list if it is personal skills, sounds like something new.
The Bureau of Labor and Statistics uses a "Standard Occupational Classification" system for organizing occupations, and most of the entries can be mapped to skills of the type you're requesting. There are 23 top-level categories and significant detail within each, as much or as little as you can use.

Eclectic list, confused term categories.
You'll find both broad categories and detailed job titles listed on the U.S. government's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) page as well as on the latest Occupational & Wage Estimates (see links below). The broad categories as well as the individual job types sport hyperlinks, which enable you to drill down further in each area for more details. Make sure you scroll all the way down the Occupational Employment & Wage page so you don't miss all of the various categories. Then, click on each job type to drill down for additional job classifications within each area as well as for national, regional and local wage information.

I would have gone to this same list if you hadn't beaten me to it. At my last gig we did a bunch of work with high school students and "what do I want to do with my life" exploration tools, which included interests like you mention. The government's got a boatload of stuff, all free for the taking. It's a fair bet that many of the other sites listed just scraped and repurposed the government's base stuff. Why not?
I have a list of obsolete skills: http://obsoleteskills.com/skills/skills
Check it out by going to this website, and looking at the drop down box of all the professions one can have.

Well I have found a collection of websites below that I believe hold the key to the answer you are looking for. These two links are pointing to the official departments in charge of careers and labor, in the US and UK respectively.They have thousands upon thousands of listed skill sets in their databases that are arranged in alphabetic order.
Dunno if you're interested in this but there are some people with the skill to sense emotions of others and some people who have the skill to sense someone's personality (with help of a picture or seeing eachother) and people who have both hope it helps
