Evaluation Questions

1.     Were the participants honest with themselves?
Always. I believe for the most part the she was honest with herself, however undecided about her official position on the matter.
2.     Were their opinions bases on facts or personal experiences?
Always personal experience. During the interview she relied mostly on personal experiences referencing people in her life.
3.     Did they revise judgment when new evidence arose?
Sometimes. When presented with different ways to handle gun control and situations but was not very optimistic about opposing evidence.
4.     Were they an emotional debater following their feelings and acting impulsively?
Always. When I started questioning her views she became very dismissive and started questioning me.
5.     Did they hold a firm stance on their position or was it weak?
Weak. Her position on the issue was very mixed and at various times started contradicting herself.
6.     Was participant willing to listen to both side of the story?
Sometimes. She was willing to listen to up until a point, but sort of instantly went against the ideas presented.
7.     Did they dismiss problems as a nuisance and a threat to their ego or not?
Always. Became very defensive and started questioning my stance on the issue.
8.     Are they interested in other people ideas?
Sometimes. She would listen to the question, but that was new information did not change her opinion.
9.     Do they seek a fair balanced view striving for understanding?
Never. Went straight to arguing every point presented and was pretty bias and one sided.
10. The participant demonstrates the three values of critical thinking interpretation, investigation, and judgment?
Never. Went straight to judgment every time voicing her values, views and belief on gun control.

Over all I would give this individual a 3 out of 10 in critical thinki
