High-quality, expertly designed, and interactive critical thinking self-development tools are available through INSIGHT BASECAMP.

The Critical Thinking Keys is scientifically designed to survey key mental attributes of strong critical thinkers. No prior content knowledge is required. Items invite “agree-disagree” responses to simple statements expressing opinions, attitudes, and intentions. Critical Thinking Keys reports results on eight key critical thinking habits of mind.

• Foresight
• Confidence in Reasoning
• Inventiveness
• Maturity of Judgment
• Truth-Seeking
• Intellectual Honesty
• Open-Mindedness
• Organization

This survey uses simple agree or disagree style items. It is not a test of skills or content knowledge. It is not timed. Qualitative and numerical ratings on each habit of mind can be downloaded as a PDF after the survey is completed.
