Critical Thinking University ‘Think-O-Meter’

Did you know critical thinking is the skill of most increasing importance in the workplace over the next 5 years – surpassing innovation or the application of information technology? Yet only 28% of college graduates are rated as having excellent critical thinking skills. Even many emerging leaders (those being groomed for the C-suite) lack good critical thinking. But every job requires critical thinking.

A Project Manager needs to analyze the critical path, football coaches need to put aside emotions to make the next call; and salespeople need to identify what their clients are really looking for.

The ‘Think-O-Meter’ iPhone app challenges your thinking and helps you develop a Sherlock Holmes-like attention to the evidence at hand. Think through dozens of scenarios and test your ability to separate reliable facts from assumptions, focus on the relevant information, and think critically to get the right answer.

Whether you want to see opportunities more clearly, simplify your life by side-stepping problems, or improve the caliber of your decisions, this tool will give you an edge while honing your decision-making skills.

Annoying
DRT76

The scenarios and related questions are disjointed. If you answer a question incorrectly, it's cumbersome to get back to the question to try another answer. Not very instructive.

Will not open

Ok app. My biggest problem is the first question for the first scenario has two answers but the app doesn't have a way to answer with more than one so you always get it wrong.

Logical fallacy
Jeff B .

The 6th scenario requires the use of false causation to get the right answer. A critical thinking application should not contain logical fallacy in its arguments.

Not working - not updated since 2011

This app has not been updated since 2011. When I click on it, all I see is a black screen. Appears to be conflicting with the iOS updates. Needs to be updated.
