Critical thinking definition

images of a critical thinking

Critical thinking, as described by Oxford Languages, is the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgement.

Active and skillful approach, evaluation, assessment, synthesis, and/or evaluation of information obtained from, or made by, observation, knowledge, reflection, acumen or conversation, as a guide to belief and action, requires the critical thinking process, which is why it's often used in education and academics.

Some even may view it as a backbone of modern thought.

However, it's a skill, and skills must be trained and encouraged to be used at its full potential.

People turn up to various approaches in improving their critical thinking, like:

  • Developing technical and problem-solving skills
  • Engaging in more active listening
  • Actively questioning their assumptions and beliefs
  • Seeking out more diversity of thought
  • Opening up their curiosity in an intellectual way etc.

Is critical thinking useful in writing?

Critical thinking can help in planning your paper and making it more concise, but it's not obvious at first. We carefully pinpointed some the questions you should ask yourself when boosting critical thinking in writing:

  • What information should be included?
  • Which information resources should the author look to?
  • What degree of technical knowledge should the report assume its audience has?
  • What is the most effective way to show information?
  • How should the report be organized?
  • How should it be designed?
  • What tone and level of language difficulty should the document have?

Usage of critical thinking comes down not only to the outline of your paper, it also begs the question: How can we use critical thinking solving problems in our writing's topic?

Let's say, you have a Powerpoint on how critical thinking can reduce poverty in the United States. You'll primarily have to define critical thinking for the viewers, as well as use a lot of critical thinking questions and synonyms to get them to be familiar with your methods and start the thinking process behind it.

What Is Critical Thinking? | Definition & Examples

Published on May 30, 2022 by Eoghan Ryan . Revised on May 31, 2023.

Critical thinking is the ability to effectively analyze information and form a judgment .

To think critically, you must be aware of your own biases and assumptions when encountering information, and apply consistent standards when evaluating sources .

Critical thinking skills help you to:

  • Identify credible sources
  • Evaluate and respond to arguments
  • Assess alternative viewpoints
  • Test hypotheses against relevant criteria

Table of contents

Why is critical thinking important, critical thinking examples, how to think critically, other interesting articles, frequently asked questions about critical thinking.

Critical thinking is important for making judgments about sources of information and forming your own arguments. It emphasizes a rational, objective, and self-aware approach that can help you to identify credible sources and strengthen your conclusions.

Critical thinking is important in all disciplines and throughout all stages of the research process . The types of evidence used in the sciences and in the humanities may differ, but critical thinking skills are relevant to both.

In academic writing , critical thinking can help you to determine whether a source:

  • Is free from research bias
  • Provides evidence to support its research findings
  • Considers alternative viewpoints

Outside of academia, critical thinking goes hand in hand with information literacy to help you form opinions rationally and engage independently and critically with popular media.

Critical thinking can help you to identify reliable sources of information that you can cite in your research paper . It can also guide your own research methods and inform your own arguments.

Outside of academia, critical thinking can help you to be aware of both your own and others’ biases and assumptions.

Academic examples

However, when you compare the findings of the study with other current research, you determine that the results seem improbable. You analyze the paper again, consulting the sources it cites.

You notice that the research was funded by the pharmaceutical company that created the treatment. Because of this, you view its results skeptically and determine that more independent research is necessary to confirm or refute them. Example: Poor critical thinking in an academic context You’re researching a paper on the impact wireless technology has had on developing countries that previously did not have large-scale communications infrastructure. You read an article that seems to confirm your hypothesis: the impact is mainly positive. Rather than evaluating the research methodology, you accept the findings uncritically.

Nonacademic examples

However, you decide to compare this review article with consumer reviews on a different site. You find that these reviews are not as positive. Some customers have had problems installing the alarm, and some have noted that it activates for no apparent reason.

You revisit the original review article. You notice that the words “sponsored content” appear in small print under the article title. Based on this, you conclude that the review is advertising and is therefore not an unbiased source. Example: Poor critical thinking in a nonacademic context You support a candidate in an upcoming election. You visit an online news site affiliated with their political party and read an article that criticizes their opponent. The article claims that the opponent is inexperienced in politics. You accept this without evidence, because it fits your preconceptions about the opponent.

There is no single way to think critically. How you engage with information will depend on the type of source you’re using and the information you need.

However, you can engage with sources in a systematic and critical way by asking certain questions when you encounter information. Like the CRAAP test , these questions focus on the currency , relevance , authority , accuracy , and purpose of a source of information.

When encountering information, ask:

  • Who is the author? Are they an expert in their field?
  • What do they say? Is their argument clear? Can you summarize it?
  • When did they say this? Is the source current?
  • Where is the information published? Is it an academic article? Is it peer-reviewed ?
  • Why did the author publish it? What is their motivation?
  • How do they make their argument? Is it backed up by evidence? Does it rely on opinion, speculation, or appeals to emotion ? Do they address alternative arguments?

Critical thinking also involves being aware of your own biases, not only those of others. When you make an argument or draw your own conclusions, you can ask similar questions about your own writing:

  • Am I only considering evidence that supports my preconceptions?
  • Is my argument expressed clearly and backed up with credible sources?
  • Would I be convinced by this argument coming from someone else?

Critical thinking refers to the ability to evaluate information and to be aware of biases or assumptions, including your own.

Like information literacy , it involves evaluating arguments, identifying and solving problems in an objective and systematic way, and clearly communicating your ideas.

Critical thinking skills include the ability to:

You can assess information and arguments critically by asking certain questions about the source. You can use the CRAAP test , focusing on the currency , relevance , authority , accuracy , and purpose of a source of information.

Ask questions such as:

  • Who is the author? Are they an expert?
  • How do they make their argument? Is it backed up by evidence?

A credible source should pass the CRAAP test  and follow these guidelines:

  • The information should be up to date and current.
  • The author and publication should be a trusted authority on the subject you are researching.
  • The sources the author cited should be easy to find, clear, and unbiased.
  • For a web source, the URL and layout should signify that it is trustworthy.

Information literacy refers to a broad range of skills, including the ability to find, evaluate, and use sources of information effectively.

Being information literate means that you:

  • Know how to find credible sources
  • Use relevant sources to inform your research
  • Understand what constitutes plagiarism
  • Know how to cite your sources correctly

Confirmation bias is the tendency to search, interpret, and recall information in a way that aligns with our pre-existing values, opinions, or beliefs. It refers to the ability to recollect information best when it amplifies what we already believe. Relatedly, we tend to forget information that contradicts our opinions.

Although selective recall is a component of confirmation bias, it should not be confused with recall bias.

On the other hand, recall bias refers to the differences in the ability between study participants to recall past events when self-reporting is used. This difference in accuracy or completeness of recollection is not related to beliefs or opinions. Rather, recall bias relates to other factors, such as the length of the recall period, age, and the characteristics of the disease under investigation.

  • Since the turn of the millennium, we have seen an exponential increase in the amount of new information.
  • The world is forever evolving, and, so, we must adapt, ensuring not to solely rest on decline biases.

Someone asked me the other day how they can best go about identifying AI -generated media. "I don’t know" was my honest answer. To be completely truthful, I’m not even sure I can. With that, I am confident in my ability to distinguish essays written by students from AI (and have done so in the past). I can also pretty easily spot dodgy-looking fingers and feet in many AI-generated images. But, of course, such examples are not the case for all AI-generated media. Moreover, what about when AI advances to the point where it can overcome these little "nuances"? What happens when it’s capable of "fooling us" a majority of the time? Maybe I’ve already been duped and I don’t even know.

Perhaps a better way of looking at this question of identification is through a pre-emptive lens. That is, let’s assume that we will be duped on a regular basis (if it’s not already the case). I don’t think being able to "spot a fake" is necessarily the right approach. Consistent with a couple of pieces I wrote a while back for this blog, regarding spotting fake news and why we fall for it , it’s more about the decision-making process regarding accepting what to believe and the critical thinking necessary for such decision-making than it is about identification per se. Indeed, AI has been a topic of discussion within critical thinking research recently (e.g., Dumitru & Halpern, 2023; Eigenauer, 2023; Saiz & Rivas, 2023)—for example, with respect to its potential effects on human attention and decision-making, along with its current fallibility, as addressed above.

Asking Ourselves Questions

If you care about the information you’re reading or the video/image you’re seeing (the type of care that makes critical thinking necessary), you need to ask yourself some questions. For example, is "political candidate x," as featured in some hypothetical video, actually doing or saying what I’m seeing/hearing? Is it consistent with their past behaviour and/or attitudes or is it out of character for them? If the latter, is this a glimpse of who they really are or am I being duped? Are there other sources suggesting the same behaviour? Are there other videos of said individual available for comparison? Simply, we need to avoid jumping to a conclusion about what we have seen or read and engage the reflective judgment component of critical thinking.

Sounds like a lot of work. Well, no one ever said critical thinking was easy; but, unfortunately, that’s what it takes now if you truly care about the topic you’re thinking about. If you’re a critical thinker, arguably, you’re already somewhat prepared for these advances in AI. We’ve dealt with misinformation for hundreds of years. More recently, we’ve had "deep fakes" (aided through AI). We’ve had news sources compete against each other for viewership and readership through sensationalising their news and providing their own unique slants on things. We needed critical thinking for those and we need critical thinking for this.

The New Knowledge Economy

Take, for example, the "new knowledge economy"—a concept discussed often on this blog—and, truth be told, it’s anything but "new." Simply, since the turn of the millennium, we have seen an exponential increase in the amount of new information being created. From 1999 to 2002, the amount of new information created was said to equal the amount of information previously developed throughout the history of the world with further estimations that new information creation would double every two years (Jukes & McCain, 2002; Varian & Lyman, 2003)—that was back in the early noughties. Now, in 2024, we’re barely able to "guestimate" how many zettabytes of data are created each day. The point is, even back 20 years ago, simply acquiring information was insufficient. We were forced to adapt our thinking to account for multiple sources, multiple slants, multiple biases, and multiple "truths" of the data we received on any given topic. The mechanics behind how we adapt to this have not changed. We needed critical thinking back then and we still need it now—arguably more so now, particularly in light of world events occurring since the dawn of this "new knowledge economy," including growing political, economic, social, and health-related concerns (e.g., " fake news ," gaps between political views in the general population, an economic crash, various social movements, and the COVID-19 pandemic).

Sure, there are many implications of AI’s introduction to the world. They are both spectacular and worrying, and though adaptation might be a difficult task (Saiz & Rivas, 2023), it remains that the mechanics behind such adaptation have not changed that much from what was requisite 20 years ago—we need to be able to think critically about the information we engage if we truly want to draw reasonable conclusions, solve problems, and make decisions regarding the topics we care about. Just as Socrates feared the written word more than 2,000 years ago, we now fear AI as this new frontier of technological advancement. The world is forever evolving, and, so, we must adapt, ensuring not to fall prey to solely resting on decline biases (e.g., fearing what is new and different) and, instead, being proactive in the ways we can adapt. We need critical thinking alongside added efforts to develop and enhance it. To conclude, I’m not saying that AI is all good and I’m not saying it’s all bad, but it is developing and advancing whether we like it or not—and the most proactive thing we can do about it in advance is to prepare ourselves through developing our critical thinking.

Ever wondered if your daily habits might reveal something extraordinary about your intelligence? Whether it’s how you organize your space, your reading habits, or even your love for daydreaming, these seemingly ordinary behaviors might be a sneak peek into your intellectual prowess.

Let’s look at 18 habits that could be silent indicators of a high IQ – who knows, you might recognize yourself in more ways than expected!

They read extensively, explore various subjects, and are always open to acquiring new knowledge and skills. This habit of lifelong learning not only expands their knowledge base but keeps their minds sharp and adaptable.

<p>High-IQ individuals tend to engage in critical thinking. They analyze information thoroughly, question assumptions, and examine problems from multiple perspectives.
