Infer Like a Pro

Study Notes

Critical thinking is based on several criteria, including clarity, accuracy, coherence, comprehensiveness, depth, and logic.
Inference is a critical thinking skill that requires analysis, interpretation, examination of alternatives, and speculation.
Inference helps study both general and specific aspects of a problem or topic.
To infer the implicit meaning in a logical and justified manner, one must analyze the sentence or text and identify figurative language, contradictions, sarcasm, or implications.
In case of a comparison, one must identify the compared and the comparator.
In case of a contradiction, one must identify the intended idea.
One must determine the relationship between the compared or contradicted elements.
One must provide evidence for the implicit meaning through reliable sources, prior knowledge, or context.
One must formulate a clear and understandable sentence to express the implicit meaning.
Inference is a crucial tool for critical thinking and problem-solving.
