Critical thinking: has a purpose; is an attempt to figure something out, settle some question, or solve some problem; is based on assumptions; is done from some point of view; is based on data, information, and evidence; is expressed through and shaped by concepts and ideas; contains inferences by which we draw conclusions and give meaning to data; and leads somewhere or has implications and consequences.
