Weegy: Your educational background and profession plays a major role in the development of thinking skills. Education that inculcates a practice of analytical thinking and reasoning, leads you to become a critical thinker. [ The development of problem-solving and reasoning skills since an early age is an excellent way of developing critical thinking skills. Professions wherein you are required to evaluate information before reaching a conclusion help in the development of critical thinking. Exposing yourself to questions that encourage thinking can also help. Critical thinking is of importance in many professions. Analytical thinking is an attribute sought for, in jobs like engineering, information and system analysis, research and editing.

Weegy: If your thinking is fuzzy or flawed, your decisions may lead to less than desirable consequences. Thinking skills are easily taken for granted. "Surely I can think!" you may say to yourself. [ The question is how well do you think? Steps: Value objective reality. Our thinking can only be effective if it is based on reality. Reality is objective it exists independently of your desires, wishes, whims, and objectives. Your thinking will be productive to the extent that you are able to accurately perceive and interpret this reality. This requires objectivity–the ability to separate "what is" from what you might want to believe or what might be more comforting to believe. Keep an open mind. A closed mind is cut off from reality. The closed mind thinker can easily be recognized; he or she has a rigid set of opinions and attitudes that are not open to discussion. Such a thinker cannot be reasoned with, since this process involves processing new input. If you feel as if you are talking to a brick wall, you are probably dealing with a closed mind thinker. However, being open minded does not mean that you should not stand by the truth as you know it, or that you must accept every point of view. Truth will withstand questioning; only illusion is threatened by the exchange of thought. For more: ] (More)
