What is Critical Thinking?
Critical Thinking is a special type of thinking which includes several specific thinking skills such as metacognition, identifying assumptions, frames of reference and more. Anyone who makes important decisions, chooses a particular product or service, reads various reports (including newpapers), needs to use critical thinking.
A critical thinker seeks truth rather than relying on assumptions or speculations. Critical Thinking is NOT being critical, negative or judgmental.
Most people use some elements of critical thinking but are not aware of specific thinking skills. While most doctors, lawyers and scientists use critical thinking, it is not limited to such profession by any means. Most people ranging from auto mechanics to watch makers need to use critical thinking skills. If you buy anything, especially anything that is expensive, you would definitely benefit by using critical thinking. If you don’t want to be tricked, manipulated or duped into believing something that is false, then you need to learn how to think critically.
Decisions based upon assumptions could prove disastrous if the assumptions are false. Critical thinkers seek truth and do not rely upon assumptions or speculations .
