A concept is a result of an ideation process. More precisely: It describes the preliminary outcome of thinking or a current state, because thinking – hopefully – will not stop. Viewing intellectual work in this way brings us closer to the idea of critical thinking. It is "the art of thinking about thinking with a view towards improving it."
Consistency of your Idea
The competence of critical thinking and reflection on its intellectual standards might give us a clue as to how consistent a presentation, an insight or a concept paper already are.
Use this checklist to see whether you have applied the standards inspired by Critical Thinking concepts sufficiently:
Clarity
It is understandable; the meaning can be grasped.
|
Accuracy
It is free from errors, mistakes or distortions.
|
Precision
It is exact to the necessary level of detail and specificity.
|
Relevance
It is pertinent or related to the matter at hand.
|
Depth
It contains complexities and multiple interrelationships.
|
Breadth
It encompasses multiple viewpoints.
|
Logic=
The parts make sense together, there are no contradictions.
|
Fairness
it is justifiable, and not self-serving or one-sided.
|
Context
It is appropriate in the concrete environment where it will be applied.
