Well...I think riding skills do play a huge part but it depends what we are talking about here.
One finds sometimes a person is a great rider in say dirt...but they suck in sand, and on tar they may be bad in traffic or nervous in those situations.
An adventure rider generally needs to ride a multitude of different terrain: Sand, Tar, City, Rocks, Dirt highways, then as well as all this - navigate well. The navigation goes from Pre Trip planning to actual navigation as well.
Excellent post this - thanks. Can you sum it up, as my english does not allow it. Would love define riding skills as per your post.

I can try but I also suck.

Aptitude for riding a variety of terrain and environments.
Navigation skills.
