California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CCTDI)

The California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory is the premier tool for surveying the dispositional aspects of critical thinking. It measures the "willing" dimension in the expression "willing and able" to think critically. The CCTDI is designed for use with the general adult population, undergraduates, technical and professional school students, and graduate students. The CCTDI scales measure truthseeking, open-mindedness, analyticity, systematicity, critical thinking self-confidence, inquisitiveness and maturity of judgment. High scores on the CCTDI indicate a strong positive disposition toward engaging problems and decisions using one's critical thinking skills. Low scores indicate an aversion toward using thinking to solve problems or make decisions.
