I can see fors and againsts, here (as always).

But I notice with interest that your main keywords are included in those 100 words. They get in at 17. Other stuff gets in at 13. An inconsistency?

I suspect the answer may depend on whether you see the size of those numbers as representing how good you are at them (what I always thought they meant), or, as recently suggested and I forget by who, representing how dramatically important they are. If it's the latter, then the 100-word abilities should be higher than the keyword ones, not lower.
