Are you a critical thinker?
Critical Thinkers...
- Are honest with themselves, acknowledging what they don’t know, recognizing their limitations, and being watchful of their own errors.
- Base judgment on evidence rather than personal preferences, deferring judgement whenever evidence is insufficient. They revise judgments when new evidence reveals error.
Non-critical Thinkers...
- Pretend they know more than they do, ignore their limitations, and assume their views are error-free.
- Base judgments on first impressions and gut reactions. They are unconcerned about the amount or quality of evidence and cling to their views steadfastly.
