from: Institute for Critical Thinking1 Critical Inquiry Critical Questions to Stimulate Critical Thinking

from: Institute for Critical Thinking2 Thinking is driven by questions. Had no questions been asked by those who laid the foundations for a discipline, the field would never have been developed in the first place. Furthermore, every discipline stays alive only to the extent that fresh questions are generated and taken seriously as the driving force in a process of thinking. To think through or rethink anything, one must ask questions that stimulate thought.

from: Institute for Critical Thinking3 (1) Deep Questions Deep questions drive us to delve beneath the surface of ideas. They force us to deal with complexity.

from: Institute for Critical Thinking4 (2) Questions of Purpose Force us to define our task. Ask “why?” Seek to define desired outcomes. Ask “What are we seeking to accomplish?”

from: Institute for Critical Thinking5 (3) Questions of Information Force us to look at our sources of information. Forces us to assess the quality of our information.

from: Institute for Critical Thinking6 (4) Questions of Interpretation Force us to determine what gives meaning to information Force us to examine how we are organizing information.

from: Institute for Critical Thinking12 (10) Questions of Precision Force us to give details. Force us to be specific

from: Institute for Critical Thinking13 (11) Questions of Consistency Force us to check our thinking for contradictions. Force us to examine our ideas for discrepancies or hypocrisy.
