I haven't seen the show since I was a kid but wasn't she extremely skeptical even though she had extensive experience witnessing supernatural events first hand?


Correct.

"I don't believe that thing I just saw because there is no scientific proof of it, but oh yeah, I'm also very religious and 100% convinced that I'm correct." - is how I would sum up her character

Honestly, I found this opinion to be a bit overblown when I watched it. She's skeptical, but she's not stupidly so. When she sees evidence of aliens, she does start to believe Mulder. No, she doesn't go along with every magic voodoo fried chicken cult they find, but I don't know that I can blame her.


I haven't seen every episode, so maybe she gets better.

It is true that she'll sometimes acknowledge the existence of [thing] in the moment while it's right in front of her, when it would be blatantly stupid to deny [thing].

However it seems that more often than not, when [thing] is later referenced, she denies it again.

Mulder will be like "remember? you saw it!" and she'll come back with "I don't know what I saw" or "i could have been drugged/hallucinating" or "I was so stressed/afraid/upset due to [event] that my mind was playing tricks on me".

Even worse, Skinner will read aloud an excerpt from Mulder's report, that is solely factual, and ask her to confirm. Instead, she'll ignore the question and offer up something like "I can tell you this, we saved those people" or "I saw no evidence to support that, Mulders stressed and imagining things".

I'm paraphrasing.
