The speed of your skill training is determined by your attributes. Your current ones can be seen in the character sheet. Open it up now.

Attributes do not influence the chance of success when using skills, only how fast the skills that rely on them are trained. Therefore, high attributes are only beneficial if you are training skills that rely on those attributes. Planning ahead is paramount.

Select the attributes tab. There you can see a list of your current attributes. You should familiarize yourself with them, and what they affect.

Intelligence is the attribute that is primarily used for training in the Electronics, Engineering, Navigation, Mechanic and Science categories. Intelligence is the secondary attribute for a lot of Social and Industry skills as well.

Memory is primary for those that use their time to learn Industry, Corporation Management and Drone skills. Memory is also the secondary attribute to a great number of Engineering, Mechanic, Electronics and yellow>Trade</yellow> skills.

Charisma is the primary attribute in speeding up the learning of many Leadership, Social and Trade skills.

Also, skills that have to do with Corporation Management receive a secondary boost from Charisma.

Willpower is the primary attribute when it comes to the speed at which you learn many Trade, Leadership and Advanced Spaceship Command. But it is also a very important secondary attribute, as the Gunnery and Missile Launcher Operation skills and the bulk of the Spaceship Command skills rely partly on a character’s Willpower.

Perception is the primary attribute when it comes to reducing training times for Gunnery, Missile Launcher Operation and the Spaceship Command skills and the secondary attribute for the Advanced Spaceship Command, most of the Drones and Navigation skills.
