Sally Ride since a child presented great critical thinking skills, which is very rare. The things that we have now attributed to a critical thinker are Analytical Skills, Effective Communication, Research and Inquiry Skills, Flexibility and Tolerance for Ambiguity, Open-Minded Skepticism, Creative Problem Solving, Attention-Mindfulness and Curiosity, and finally Collaborative Learning. To say that she had mastered all these areas of critical thinking from this small exert would be false and therefore I would not be using my critical thinking skills. However, she does show attention, mindfulness and curiosity this is because she did notice how important critical think was and is so she double majored. She also was alert when NASA was looking for new astronauts, which is very important later in her life. In this she also I think showed Open-Minded Skepticism because she knew that there were very few women pursuing a career in NASA. This is what I saw her present in the small article about, but I know if I was given more about her life more of the critical thinking criteria would have been met.
