Do you think you're a Critical Thinker? Yup
Do you think JinnKai is a douchebag with a complex? Nope
Would you benefit from thinking more critically? Yup
What do YOU think Critical Thinking should mean? Thinking in a logical and reasonable manner.
Do you see a flaw in critical thinking, beyond being labelled a "skeptic" ? Nope
Is "doubting everything" a realistic viewpoint for the current world? Yup
Do you wish more people were Critical Thinkers? Yup, I think the world would run much easier if people just sat down and thought, "Does this make sense?"
If so, what can you do to make people analyze what they're hearing, saying, and doing? Simply ask them, "Why?"

My girlfriend gets pissed off at me sometimes for doubting her if she repeats a story or fact she heard from her friends or family, even if I just tell her I don't think it makes sense. Why believe everything people, even your family, tells you? I sometimes question my professors (not out loud of course

) or my own thoughts.
