Question

Help appreciated! Compare and contrast critical thinking and an inference.

Answer 1

Critical thinking and inferences are both ways to come to a conclusion or decision. Both are used in everyday life to come to a decision about a particular situation. An inference is more similar to an assumption though. You don't spend as much time considering all aspects of the situation. An inference is more of a quick decision. When you engage in critical thinking, you consider all aspects of the decision. Critical thinking would take more time.
