Answer 1

​Critical thinking is the ability of an individual to conceptualise , apply and analyse information by reflecting, observations and by reasoning out a particular situation. Three ways in which personal inventory could be used for improvement of critical thinking is in the following manner:

1. By asking more basic questions to oneself an individual would be able to identify the most basic but small things that he might be ignoring while arriving at a decision. This allows them look at the aspects that might have been over looked when only larger aspects would be considered.
2. It is important to look through the evidences that are already present. It is important to realise that for a person to think critically, 100% of the times is not possible. Hence, when looking at evidences, it is important to critically examine those evidences and then take a decision.
3. Reversing the order of things can often help to obtain an answer on which a person has already been stuck on. This helps when it is important to arrive at a decision, but various biases hamper the path. In order to remove all the biases in such loop hole situations, a person can try and trace the entire path or reverse the path on which they have already travelled, so as to obtain an answer.
