Answer to Question 1

It is an essential tool of inquiry, a liberating force in education and a powerful resource in one's personal and civic life. While not synonymous with good thinking, critical thinking is essentially self-rectifying, which means that using critical thinking we can discover our mistakes and correct them.

Answer to Question 2

A person who is analytical is habitually alert to potential problems and vigilant in anticipating consequences and trying to foresee short-term and long-term outcomes of events, decisions, and actions. Another word to describe this habit of mind might be foresightful.
