Critical thinking enables you to learn things in an active manner and think outside the box.

It helps you comprehend problems well. Once you know the problem well, you can come out with an innovative solution to it easier.

 

 

 

 

As a critical thinker,

Do not accept every piece of information that comes your way as it is. Rather, apply your brainpower to break the information into various components, examine and conclude whether the facts stated are true or false.

Do not take things at the face value. Rather, challenge assumptions and dig deeper to analyze if things are actually how they appear to be or not.

Do  not behave as a passive recipient of information. Rather, jump into analysis and ask Socratic questions to understand everything in detail.
