Skills and abilities I gain through practice and habituation, such as, • being able to play football, ski, play the piano, dance, paint portraits and so on Knowledge of my own personal biography through my memory. • Knowledge of myself how I might react in certain situations • – Knowledge of my mental states including emotions • (but not all) knowledge required in personal •Certain making processes why I decided to do X – Knowledge of other people what they might be thinking and how • – they might react Quasi-Systematic knowledge of the world around me gained • through my senses Internal maps of practiced acts of sensing for example • – sense judgments such as those made by an experienced tea taster Knowledge that is possible to share in principle but there are good • reasons (say commercial ones) for not sharing it. An example here might be Antonio Stradivari and his ability to build violins. Perhaps this sort of knowledge cannot be formulated using language (digitalized let us say). But it might also be true that Stradivari had a strong disincentive to share what was, to all intents and purposes, highly commercially sensitive knowledge. These types of knowledge do not naturally lend themselves to being communicated to others. It may be logically possible for aspects of this knowledge to be shared but this will generally be difficult for the items in the personal category.
