Critical Thinking, Attributes of Creative Thought 

CRITICAL THINKING is a valued skill taught and learned by the professions, such as law, planning, medicine, engineering and architecture. The purpose of thinking critically is to examine a fact, a proposition or an idea from all perspectives to determine its veracity, its weak spots, its strengths, and ultimately, its usefulness. The antithesis of critical thinking is to accept information or ideas at face value and discard them before their true value can be exploited.
