Explanation:

Critical thinking involves being open - minded (tolerate uncertainty), rational (avoid emotional reasoning), inquisitive (ask questions), precise (define your terms), and considering multiple perspectives (consider other interpretations) while not oversimplifying. Statistical analysis is a tool, not a key to the general concept of critical thinking. Experimenter effects are a concern in research, not a key to critical thinking.
