critical thinking to be purposeful, self-regulatory judgment which
results ininterpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference,as
well as explanation of the evidential, conceptual, methodological,
criteriological, or contextual considerations upon which that
judgment is based.CT is essential as a tool of inquiry. As such, CT
is a liberating force in education and a powerful resource in one's
personal and civic life.While not synonymous with good thinking, CT
is a pervasive and self-rectifying human phenomenon.CONSENSUS

personal biases, prudent in making judgments, willing to
reconsider, clear about issues, orderly in complex matters,
diligent in seeking relevant information, reasonable in the
selection of criteria, focused in inquiry,and persistent in seeking
