UPPSC 2025

Q. Which one of the following is NOT a skill of interpersonal interaction ?

a) Administrative power
b) Empathy
c) Positive thinking
d) Courtesy
Correct Answer: a) Administrative power

Question from UPPSC Prelims CSAT 2025

Explanation:

Interpersonal interaction skills are behavioral abilities that help people communicate and work effectively with others. They include traits like empathy (understanding others’ feelings), courtesy (politeness and respect), and a positive mindset that fosters constructive dialogue and cooperation. Administrative power, however, is not a skill; it is positional authority derived from one’s role in an organization. It may influence interactions, but it is not an interpersonal skill in itself.

Therefore, Administrative power is the option that is NOT a skill of interpersonal interaction.
