Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Description of legal work: see attached
Extra notes: see attached
Requirement..
For the Legal sector….entry level graduates….
1. 15 question multi choice (A-E) – Block of text “legal wise” then questions on assumptions, arguments etc
2. 8 questions where the answer will be free text on what they have done experience wise and/or attitude to being a legal advisor assuming they have done law degree?)
3. Possible help to review a letter content when writing to law firms about our services.
Guidance notes below on style etc (from wikipeda)
What is Critical Thinking?
Critical thinking is the ability to logically and rationally consider information. Rather than accepting arguments and conclusions presented, a person with strong critical thinking will question and seek to understand the evidence provided. They will look for logical connections between ideas, consider alternative interpretations of information and evaluate the strength of arguments presented.
Everyone inherently experiences some degree of subconscious bias in their thinking. Critical thinking skills can help an individual overcome these and separate out facts from opinions.
The Watson Glaser critical thinking test is based around the RED model of critical thinking:
• Recognise assumptions. This is all about comprehension. Actually understanding what is being stated and considering whether the information presented is true, and whether any evidence has been provided to back it up. Correctly identifying when assumptions have been made is an essential part of this, and being able to critically consider the validity of these assumptions - ideally from a number of different perspectives - can help identify missing information or logical inconsistencies.
• Evaluate arguments. This skill is about the systematic analysis of the evidence and arguments provided. Being able to remain objective, while logically working through arguments and information. Critical evaluation of arguments requires an individual to suspend their judgement, which can be challenging when an argument has an emotional impact. It is all too easy to unconsciously seek information which confirms a preferred perspective, rather than critically analyse all of the information.
• Draw conclusions. This is the ability to pull together a range of information and arrive at a logical conclusion based on the evidence. An individual with strong critical thinking skills will be able to adjust their conclusion should further evidence emerge which leads to a different conclusion.
Why is Critical Thinking Important to Potential Employers?
Critical thinking is important to employers because individuals who engage in quality thinking make better decisions. They arrive at conclusions which are impartial, well informed and objective.
Furthermore, such people are able to make decisions with limited supervision, enabling them to independently make judgements: in a world where time can be money, waiting for someone else to validate decisions can be costly and result in missed opportunities.
What is Involved in the Watson Glaser Test?
The Watson Glaser test evaluates a candidate’s critical thinking ability in five separate areas: inferences, assumptions, deductions, interpretations and evaluation of arguments.
Each of these skills is tested separately and there are therefore five different types of questions in the Watson Glaser test. We will explore each of these below.
Inferences
An inference is a conclusion based on evidence and reasoning. It enables conclusions to be drawn that are not explicitly stated. For example, if we see someone driving a Ferrari we may conclude that they are wealthy. However, there are a number of alternative explanations: they may have rented or borrowed the car, or they may have acquired huge debt as a result of buying the car. The problem with inferences is that people often reach a conclusion based on insufficient data, and the conclusion may not therefore be correct.
An inference question typically involves a statement (which you are to assume is true) and a number of inferences based on that statement. Your job is to evaluate whether the inference is correct. You can do this using both the information contained within the passage and information which is commonly accepted knowledge, or information that practically every person has. You will be given five potential responses and you have to select which you feel is most accurate. These options are:
Definitely True – from the facts given there is no reasonable possibility of it being incorrect.
Probably True – in light of the facts given, it is more likely to be true than false.
Insufficient data to say whether or not it is true – in light of the facts given it is impossible to say whether it is true or not.
Probably False – in lights of the facts given, it is more likely to be false than true.
Definitely False – from the facts given, there is no reasonable possibility of it being true.
