Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

A person with a positive disposition toward critical thinking has the consistent internal motivation to engage problems and make decisions by using critical thinking. Operationally this means three things: The person consistently values critical thinking, believes that using critical thinking skills offers the greatest promise for reaching good judgments, and intends to approach problems and decisions by applying critical thinking skills as best as he or she can. This combination of values, beliefs, and intentions forms the habits of mind that dispose the person toward critical thinking and make a person eager to engage problems using his or her critical thinking skills.
