And in fact, in today’s “fake news” world, the ability to analyze information without bias (без предвзятости) to form a judgment is more important than ever. According to surveys, critical thinking comes in as the number four most important skill (67% of employers); The World Economics Forum report listed it at number two. However, 59% of recent graduates said they were “very confident” in critical thinking skills; yet over half failed a nine-question quiz designed to test it. What about you?
