The ability to think critically is simply the ability to think rationally and clearly so that one is able to draw conclusions, ask appropriate clarifying questions, and formulate plausible hypotheses.
According to Reynolds (2011), the list of core critical thinking skills includes observation, interpretation, analysis, inference, evaluation, explanation, and metacogntion.
