  • Enhance common sense
  • Filter emotion
  • Categorize experiences
  • Select reference
  • Understand the "experts"
  • Sort fact from opinion
  • Learn to express yourself in a coherent and expressive manner
CRITICAL THINKERS ARE:
  • Attractive socially
  • Able to resist manipulation
  • Able to overcome confusion
  • Able to percieve connections between subjects
  • Able to base judgements on evidence and facts
  • Able to realize that the "truth" is never simple. Grey or foggy areas always exist.
