It includes the ability to engage in reflective and independent thinking. Critical thinking is the analysis of available facts, evidence, observations and arguments in order to form a judgement by the application of rational, skeptical and unbiased analyses and evaluation. The application of critical thinking includes self-directed, self disciplined, self monitored and self corrective habits of the mind. Thus a critical thinker is a person who practices the skills of critical thinking or has been trained and educated in its disciplines.
