Skill is a part of competency. Competency consists of three parameters- Knowledge (K), Attitude (A) and Skills(S). For example- I might be having very good interpersonal skills or people skills, but I will not be competent to join a company as HR Professional unless I possess adequate education/ experience (Knowledge) and the right temperament/ behaviour (attitude). While rating skills, you have to determine what abilities are required to perform a job practically but while rating competency, you have to determine the set of abilities/ skills required along with the knowledge and attitude needed for the said job. e.g. Singing is a skill... but yoodling is a competency (Kishore Kumar) e.g. Writing is a skill.... being ambidextrous is a competency
Competency relates to the knowledge, skills, and abilities a person possesses to perform a task or role effectively, while behavior refers to the actions and conduct demonstrated by an individual in various situations. Competency focuses on what a person can do, while behavior centers on how they act or react.
A definition of 'Competence': "Demonstrating the knowledge, skills, experience, and attributes necessary to carry out a defined function effectively." A definition of 'Competency': "The description of the knowledge, skills, experience and attributes necessary to carry out a defined function effectively." In other words competencies describe what has to be done and how well. Competence is doing the required things to the required standard. Competence in a job therefore means being competent at all aspects of each function (competency) required to be performed within the role.

Motivation is the external impulse that inspires the will to perform something. Competency is the innate skill and ability to actually perform it properly.
Competency tests find out whether you can perform the job, aptitude tests find out how well you can perform a job.
