DISCLAIMER: It's fun to do, but it is not a definitive assessment of anyone's critical thinking skills.

There are 10 critical thinking situations. It's interactive. You can guess if you're not sure, and it will explain why your answer makes critical sense or not.

  • I feel kinda dumb. I got a 73% on the questionnaire.

  • @sariglenn

    Believe me that's not bad at all! I changed the quiz a short time back, and this one is far more challenging, so congratulations!

  • I still don't know what a sidebar is. I heard about it and seen it in court with my sons' mother, but don't know what it means or where it is in this context. If the author or anyone else more computer savvy than me (and that's a l l of you) could help, I'd appreciate it. Many 'thanks' in advance.

    Old video had the info to the side of the video...so sidebar = lowbar (also called the crotchbar).

  • This is a great video

  • This is a great video

  • The critical thinking test being linked to is seriously outdated and suffers from several flaws

  • got a 43% hmm I didn't think about how tired I am or another 100 factors to take into consideration like everything else. Is this critical thinking or overly thinking anxiety. lol i don't know. That dam philosophy class screwed with my head...

  • The problem is people typically perceive a questioning, reflective attitude as being opposed to them, when in fact you may be just trying to understand. I found that it is best to keep the socractic spirit quiet much of the time.

    As a whole we are presently incapable of learning about the world with a humble spirit. I do not know if this will ever change. I hope so.

    Even so, we shouldn't use that as an excuse not to exercise our ability to explore and learn about the world we live in.
