I find that both when I play and when I run, some skill proficiencies seem to come into play a lot more than others. Regardless if it's the DM calling for a specific check, or calling for an ability check and a player suggests a skill proficiency that would be relevant for how they are approaching it. I held off adding tool proficiencies because the poll was already rather long.
For example, I find when I run there's a lot of athletics, acrobatics, survival, investigation, perception and persuasion checks.
Please pick up to six, but don't feel like you must. The negative space of which ones come up infrequently across many tables will be just as interesting as which do come up.
So at your table(s) what skill proficiencies get applied to a lot of meaningful checks?
EDIT: Just noticed that when copying from the PHB that I typed in Intelligence. Please ignore, specifically looking at skill proficiency, not which ability checks get done the most.
