involves identifying the real problem(s), gathering pertinent data, asking appropriate questions, analyzing and judging the value of available information, constructively challenging ideas, and questioning assumptions.
help those being bridged understand each other’s approach through the use of interpersonal skills, active listening, and effective questioning techniques.
adhering tentatively to recently acquired opinions and belief and being prepared to examine all new evidence and arguments even if such efforts leads you to discover flaws in your own cherished opinions and beliefs.
Making illogical analogies to support the validity of a particular claim.
Making a comparison that is irrelevant or inappropriate.
Having an independent mind and being able to restrain yourself from the desire to believe because of social pressures to conform
Being unaware that your memories are often “manufactured” to fill in the gaps in your recollection, or that some memories or facts, over time, can be unconsciously replaced with fantasy.
A logical fallacy claiming something is true because it has not been proven false.
This encompasses all of the problems (team dynamics, interpersonal skills, communication, collaboration, etc.) that stem from ‘human interactions’ and it steals time and energy from efforts needed to solve Problem A
This leads to misconceptions, which are the basis of false or mistaken ideas.
Refers to potential capacity (intelligence or talent) and learned levels (such as management, supervisory and leadership competency).
Creating a prejudicial atmosphere against the opposition, making it difficult for the opponent to be received fairly.
Perceptions can be misinterpreted due to psychological and sociological influences, and reasoning can be twisted to gain influence and power.
Thinking that results in efficiency, evolutionary, and revolutionary improvements and advancements
Willingness to investigate viewpoints different from your own and ability to recognize when to doubt claims that do not merit such investigation.
Thinking that concentrates on what we know, what we need to know, and how we bridge that gap
Language that is clear and accurate but misleading because it suggests something false.
Critical thinkers use his or her imagination and understanding of a matter to create logical ideas and explore possibilities. While expanding (developing) ideas with all the information gathered, they are constantly on the lookout for patterns, recognizable differences, generalizations, and plausible conclusions and predictable outcomes.
Thinking that requires generative thinking (divergent thinking): the development of ideas
The theory sharply distinguishes between level and style of creativity, problem solving, and decision making, therefore the theory is ONLY concerned with style
increases the likelihood of coping behavior occurring, when used positively it can also be used to increase the team’s ability to solve Problem B and subsequently solve Problem A.
precise terms use to describe the A-I Continuum
Making irrelevant emotional appeals to accept a claim, since emotion often influences people more effectively than logical reasoning.
