Resolution

There are two kinds of Skills: The Rated Skills and Self-Reported Skills.

Rated Skills are the one you rate, and is being auto-populated in the Skills Profile portlet.
These skills were also mapped to the Role in Manage Job Profile Content.
These skills will show up when you do a Skill Search whether there is no rating in Skill Profile portlet.

 NOTE:

Currently is not possible to disable the 'Find other people with these skills' feature.

Product management team confirmed that no improvement will be done to the Feature. The Skill approach is not part of SAP strategy and it will replaced with Whole Self Model (Talent Intelligence Hub). When fully integrated, skill profile will have no source.
