Critical thinking involves several key abilities: the ability to think clearly and rationally, to engage in independent and reflective thought, to understand logical connections between ideas, and to identify, construct and evaluate arguments. It also involves detecting inconsistencies in reasoning, solving problems systematically, identifying the relevance of ideas, and reflecting on one's own beliefs and values. Several types of questions can be asked to practice critical thinking, including questions for clarification, questions that probe assumptions, questions about viewpoints and perspectives, and questions that probe reasons and evidence or ask about the initial question.
