Explain critical thinking and give an example of a recent task that has required you to apply critical thinking.
What will be an ideal response?
Critical thinking is a process involving the reanalysis, questioning, and challenge of underlying assumptions. I've recently applied critical thinking at my job. I was balancing the cash register at the end of the night and I was off by $250. I thought about the steps I'd taken to get the figure, and realized I had missed a step. I went through the process again, adjusting for my error, and came out with an equal balance.
