From my perspective a critical thinker should show traits of being analytical, patient, and fair. You cannot rush into the decision with your eyes and mind closed. You want to explore options if any and try to be rational and decisive. Granted there are times you will have to make quick decision on things, but if your been fair and reflective on past experience and traits of your thought process you can work out many things. Critical thinking is something one must work on and they have to put time and effort into it. In this day and age some people look to the smartphones and computers to give them the answer rather than let these items aid with their thought process. It is ok to use the technology available to us for critical thinking, but one should coup it with the attitude to be inquisitive. That way a person is been creative and resourceful in their thinking.
