Critical and Creative Thinking aims at realizing intellectual standards such as clarity, accuracy, relevance, precision, depth, breadth and logically. It also strives to cultivate such intellectual traits as integrity, open-mindedness, fair mindedness, humility, empathy, perseverance and faith in reason.
Critical and Creative Thinking also attempts to develop reasoning skills such as clarification by use of analogies, elaboration, producing examples and illustration; relating ideas such as cause and consequences, parts and wholes to make connections that enable us to make responsible decisions and judgments. It is, for instance, important to be conscious of the fact that our decisions can initiate causal chains with far reaching consequences affecting not only ourselves but also the whole of the society of which we are only part.
Critical and Creative Thinking is also a good tool to enable us to make distinctions where differences exist. We need, for instance, to distinguish between rote memorization from long term memory which constitutes the story of who we are to give us our unique identity as individual human persons.
