Thus, proficiency in skills may have an indirect role in building trust in others through its effects on social inequality or on the geographical and social sorting of people according to the opportunities and outcomes related to key information-processing skills. In other words, a highly skilled person may be more likely to trust another highly skilled person, but not necessarily a low-skilled person, and vice-versa. When this happens, intra-community trust is high, but inter-community trust is low (Desjardins, 2008; OECD 2007).
